One Rule to Rule Them All • Pragmatic Dave Thomas • GOTO 2023
Enjoy the YouTube video “One Rule to Rule Them All • Pragmatic Dave Thomas • GOTO 2023” and also our collection of related movies which showcase the well known funny characters of Doug and Bob McKenzie.
Bob and Doug McKenzie in One Rule to Rule Them All • Pragmatic Dave Thomas • GOTO 2023
In the video One Rule to Rule Them All • Pragmatic Dave Thomas • GOTO 2023, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of fictional Canadian siblings who hosted “Great White North”, a sketch which was featured on SCTV – second city television for the show’s third season when it moved to the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in 1980. Bob’s partThe character Bob is performed by comic Rick Moranis and Doug is played by actor Dave Thomas. Regardless the fact it was born originally as a joke to both satisfy and laugh about stupid Canadian content guidelines, the brothers morphed into a pop culture smash hit in both Canada and the US. The characters enetually would become the focus of a bestselling comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.

ABSTRACT
As developers, we live under a constant barrage of helpful advice, often in the form of rules with cute names. We’re told how to design, how to code, how to deploy, how to monitor: there are systems and rules for everything. How can we keep up? How can we know what’s good advice, and what’s bad?
Over time I’ve come to realize that just about every good piece of advice is actually a special case of something both more general and simpler. So, let me introduce you to the “one rule to rule them all.” […]

Interesting. Uncle Bob advocates for automated tests and 100% test coverage and his name is also on the Manifesto for agile software development.
Somehow I am reminded of my ancient philosophy professor, Eric Lewis, suggesting that an interesting way to understand Plato's Meno (which discusses "Can virtue be taught?") is not that the text is inconclusive (as it would be if you read it literally) but instead shows how one can embody virtue, and hence "teach it that way". Consequently, Dave might want to encourage us to "learn agile" not by finding some coach to pay $(large_amount) to, but instead to attempt to exemplify it by absorbing (so to say) the exemplifications of others.
39:00 living in Japan for 6mo while not knowing how to read Japanese was amazingly relaxing, probably partly for this reason.
Best GOTO Conference to this day
I do a 100% test coverage in all 6 test environments and it works. And, indeed, i deleted 90% of the tests being 100% test covered and still hast 100% test coverage enabled, just saved some resources for testing with valgrind, callgrinnd, etc.
Old school is my way. Structured Analysis and Design and Programming
No need for training on or certification in Agile – "Understand the Agile values and then apply them" – Dave Thomas
Great talk, especially about the brain stuff! I go to volleyball games, in the front row, and at least once a game a ball comes screaming towards my seat. I noticed years ago that I don't see the ball coming, I see that my hand has already moved to block it. Dozens of times every game a ball takes a slow high arc into the crowd, and often bangs someone on the head who had all the time in the world to see it coming. With software, I work with people who must get banged in the head.
7:23 related: when your tests break very often, it's because you've been following the London school of unit testing, not the Chicago school.
Sure, tests will still break when requirements change. But when you unit test solely against the use cases from the domain model, then tests breaking is much more seldom.
Great talk as usual from Dave. This one is a particularly interesting series of points which is a better summary of what Kent Beck was saying and some other things. There are so many juniors looking for a reference book like Clean Code or "show me a project with good code I can study" and I've always said the ultimate judge is change. This idea itself coming from someone else that I can't remember. This talk from Dave seems like a better video to share.
A company I once worked for built a brand new certified green building. To do this, they had to put in fewer bathrooms and make the paper towel dispenser dispense one small sheet at a time. I'm glad I never had to spend much time in that building. (Just a side note after watching the first few minutes of this video.)
Great insight!
