Recently I help the company offshore some work to CN developers, many difficulty I've encounter, most difficult one is it is hard to share the vision and big picture to CN developers. This article mention a few good notes http://martinfowler.com/articles/agileOffshore.html , the one I think I am lacking is having short meeting with them often. I will see if we can have video conferencing so that we are easier to meet. The other tips here - http://www.theserverside.com[..]_id=45367&asrc=EM_NLN_1439070&uid=703565 but I think the tips list is too long and probably only apply to large enterprise Tips of communication with offshore team - http://www.acceptic.com[..]on-in-software-development-projects.html http://martinfowler.com/articles/remote-or-co-located.html https://www.infoq.com/articles/top5-problems-distributed https://www.infoq.com/articles/be-agile-distributed-teams http://www.infoq.com/cn/articles/be-agile-distributed-teams https://angel.co[..]ur-remote-team-and-then-getting-it-right

These 3 Hacks Will Make You Remember More - https://betterhumans.coach.me[..]will-make-you-remember-more-b30a3d9b3136 When trying to memorise new material, it’s easy to assume that the more work you put in, the better you will perform. Yet taking the occasional down time – to do literally nothing – may be exactly what you need. Just dim the lights, sit back, and enjoy 10-15 minutes of quiet contemplation, and you’ll find that your memory of the facts you have just learnt is far better than if you had attempted to use that moment more productively. - http://www.bbc.com[..]effortless-way-to-strengthen-your-memory This one is funny: "Distract yourself.

In order to recall the digits in the right order, you simply have to do a mental walk through your mind palace. In Lu’s case, he devised an intricate story, and assigned images such as a chair, a king or a horse to two-digit combinations of numbers ranging from “00” to “99.” - https://www.zmescience.com[..]e-but-theres-something-that-comes-close/

What is the difference of software architect from software designer? About 30k http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?design.4.491003 The law of conservation of energy - If there is no work, sleep. Money is not everything. There's Mastercard & Visa. One should love animals. They are so tasty. Save water. Shower with your girlfriend. Love the neighbor. But don?t get caught. Behind every successful man, there is a man. And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two. Every man should marry. After all, happiness is not the only thing in life. The wise never marry, And when they marry they become otherwise. Success is a relative term. It brings so many relatives. Never put off the work till tomorrow what you can put off today. Love is photogenic. It needs darkness to develop. Children in backseats cause accidents. Accidents in backseats cause children. Your future depends on your dreams.? So go to sleep. There should be a better way to start a day than waking up every morning. Hard work never killed anybody.? But why take the risk? Work fascinates me.? I can look at it for hours! God made relatives; Thank God we can choose our friends. When two?s company, three?s the result! A dress is like a barbed fence. It protects the premises without restricting the view. The more you learn, the more you know, The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know. So why bother to learn. Edward Abbey "Our culture runs on coffee and gasoline, the first often tasting like the second." Ashley Montagu "The idea is to die young as late as possible."

If you write the test after you've written the code, it's much more likely that you'll write the tests that will pass what you've written. That's just how our brains work. If you determine the criteria for whether a decision is good after you've already made the decision, it's much more likely that you'll create criteria that justifies the decision that was just made. That's just how our brains work. Determine how to assess whether something is good before you implement it and/or before you make a decision. Otherwise, you will tend to be emotionally attached to what you just did, what you just decided. http://jchyip.blogspot.com/2011/09/criteria-first.html My Top 5 ways to reproduce a "Hard to Reproduce" Bug! - http://software-testing-zone.blogspot.com[..]/my-top-5-ways-to-reproduce-hard-to.html Common TDD issue and suggested solution - http://www.agileadvisor.com[..]utomated-test-problems-address-root.html http://biblio.gdinwiddie.com[..]om/biblio/StudiesOfTestDrivenDevelopment http://www.notesfromatooluser.com[..]ptions-with-test-driven-development.html http://blog.goyello.com/2011/08/29/what-does-tdd-mean/ https://juristr.com[..]014/05/told-you-that-testing-is-a-waste/ https://www.thoughtworks.com[..]-best-thing-has-happened-software-design https://itnext.io[..]evelopment-is-dumb-fight-me-a38b3033280c

I think I know why I admire micro-ISVs. Some of my fascination with micro-ISVs is rooted in my wonderings about the path of my career over the long term. When I was 22, I believed that I could write code until age 65. I saw no reason why I could not be a software developer for my entire professional career. Some folks told me that being a coder is a burnout job, but I didn't believe them. I am 36 now, and I think I have a better understanding of things. I am starting to realize that someday I may actually want to make a career change. I am trying to picture myself running an ISV when I am 55, but I just don't see it. Running a company can be awfully stressful sometimes. Will I still want to be doing this in two more decades? My prospects for a second career are bleak. The cold reality is that I only know how to do one thing. Instead of looking for a second career, maybe I should be looking for a way to stay in software. This is one of the things I like about micro-ISVs. The lifestyle looks very different. The workflow looks like it might be a lot less stressful. Running a micro-ISV looks more like a marathon and less like a sprint. At my recent lunch with Thomas Warfield (Pretty Good Solitaire), I asked him if he thought he could still be running his micro-ISV at age 50. He said yes. Warfield is 40 now, so this is not the perspective of a naive young person just getting started. I believe him, and his answer makes me wonder if somebody I will be running some sort of a micro-ISV as my full-time job. http://msdn.microsoft.com[..]-us/dnsoftware/html/software10012004.asp 而其他實際上更重要的，卻很少被認真考量，比如牙齒接觸到那些金屬餐具的感覺，或是人們將餐具拿在手裡的平衡感。每件餐具的持續可用性也很重要，餐具的防滑性，它和食物的摩擦等等。- http://www.inside.com.tw/2012/11/12/dustin-curtis-the-best 探秘麥肯錫如何“無私”崛起, a lot about how they dress? - http://cn.wsj.com/big5/20130918/eoe073009.asp?source=rss 賈伯斯、坎貝爾、葛洛夫三位大師教我的事 - http://www.inside.com.tw/2016/04/14/jobs-campbell-grove https://medium.com[..]productivity-not-efficiency-4ed4fe9a454f 【康揚】攜手中國山寨商，「反著做」前進印度市場！「比修正錯誤的速度」，嘉義輪椅王賣到40國 - https://yaoindia.com/archives/28634
