Day 25 cont 🧍🏽

The LNP has a candidate problem.

“Since I started covering #Bruce in #Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs, voters and Labor insiders have raised questions with me about the #Liberal Party’s promotion of its candidate #ZahidSafi as a successful “small businessman”. So I decided to take a look for myself and headed for Merribrook Boulevard in Clyde.”

Update Safi has been found, “We found Safi!” #CharlotteGrieve <archive.md/lyfPg>

Duns festival

I know we might be considered to bring it upon ourselves - fighting everyone north and south of the border, but the festival has been a brilliant showacse for new talent as well as established writers and performers. Not far from many in southern Scotland and worth a look.

Friday 2- Saturday 10 May.

Have to confess a bias, a neighbour who writes for much TV&Theatre has a piece here.

Just attempted to go shopping for clothes, and while I know the quality has gone down across the board it was sad to see how much quality has dropped.

Even on so called luxury brands, the quality has dropped dramatically, the cloth, the stitching, the material it has all gone downhill.

For example quite a few clothes I came across used overlocking for structural parts without using another stitch to actually provide strength. 🫠

At this point I am honestly considering getting a sewing machine, some bolts of fabric, some patterns and attempting to sew my own clothes. #frustration #clothes #clothing #sewing #quality #lowQuality

“Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.”

Total Dunning-Kruger, combined with hubris, and contempt for quality.

I am reminded yet again of this article about software written by real rocket scientists:

Code Red: The Business Impact of Code Quality -- A Quantitative Study of 39 Proprietary Production Codebases

arxiv.org/abs/2203.04374

arXiv.orgCode Red: The Business Impact of Code Quality -- A Quantitative Study of 39 Proprietary Production CodebasesCode quality remains an abstract concept that fails to get traction at the business level. Consequently, software companies keep trading code quality for time-to-market and new features. The resulting technical debt is estimated to waste up to 42% of developers' time. At the same time, there is a global shortage of software developers, meaning that developer productivity is key to software businesses. Our overall mission is to make code quality a business concern, not just a technical aspect. Our first goal is to understand how code quality impacts 1) the number of reported defects, 2) the time to resolve issues, and 3) the predictability of resolving issues on time. We analyze 39 proprietary production codebases from a variety of domains using the CodeScene tool based on a combination of source code analysis, version-control mining, and issue information from Jira. By analyzing activity in 30,737 files, we find that low quality code contains 15 times more defects than high quality code. Furthermore, resolving issues in low quality code takes on average 124% more time in development. Finally, we report that issue resolutions in low quality code involve higher uncertainty manifested as 9 times longer maximum cycle times. This study provides evidence that code quality cannot be dismissed as a technical concern. With 15 times fewer defects, twice the development speed, and substantially more predictable issue resolution times, the business advantage of high quality code should be unmistakably clear.
