Yesterday I was leafing through Guy Kawasaki's, "Reality Check". I had read it a year ago. There were many statements that resonated with me. Here are two of them.
Code Comments
"Luckily the lack of comments usually doesn't matter, because the code is so crappy that a total rewrite is necessary in year."
Lack of comments is a bad smell.
Process
Quoting Stanford psychology profesor Carol Dweck, Guy says, "Instead of praising children's intelligence or talent, focus on the processes they used."
And at the end of the chapter: " ... focus on the process worth ethic, not the inherent brilliance, of your employees."
At acmet's Tools BU we certainly did that.
