It often feels like accuracy should be the most important thing when conveying information. Why wouldn’t it be? What’s the point of explaining something that’s false? Whether we are writing a blog post, documentation, a book, or anything that someone else will read, we want to make sure what we are saying is true. But being 100% accurate is not always the most important thing.

If you’re like me, when it comes to Docker, you probably build images non-stop. I must admit that when I create images, I don’t create any special tags, even though I should. Instead every build uses the latest tag because that is enough to meet my needs. Regardless of what tags you use, you may find yourself building the same thing over and over. When this happens, the previous image remains on your machine, but becomes untagged to make room for the new build.

Everybody ‘gets’ the concept of a Viking Movie. It’s got boats, men in hats with horns, lots of fighting and often a one way trip to Valhalla. So imagine you decide to crowdfund one. Things start off really well, and then turns into a mess, because the people committing resources all want their own distinct versions, but many of the competing memes are hard to reconcile.

Clang-Tidy is a linter from the LLVM ecosystem. I wanted to try to run it on the Linux kernel to see what kind of bugs it would find. The false positive rate seems pretty high (a persistent bane to static analysis), but some patching in both the tooling and the source can likely help bring this rate down. The most straightforward way to invoke Clang-Tidy is with a compilation database, which is a json based file that for each translation unit records.

Update : NServiceBus 7 for.NET Core has been released. During Build 2017, Microsoft released.NET Core 2.0 Preview 1. While we previously determined it was too early to seriously consider adopting.NET Core, with this release we now believe that the current platform can support a comprehensive, reliable, and production-ready version of NServiceBus. As a result, we are happy to say.

When it comes to Agile, people often ask the wrong questions. I’ve used the term “wrong question” before, and it brought out the trolls, so let’s start with that. The trolls usually scream: “there is no such thing as a wrong question,” and then they launch into a discourse on why I’m an idiot.
