NatWest glitch is the inevitable result of declining coding standards, claims software expert"As long as it functions, let it go" is the current mantra of IT departments, senior director of US-based software implementation firm CAST Research Labs, Jay Sappidi, told Computing in response to the ongoing customer account-freezing software glitch at NatWest and RBS banks.
The Broken Windows Theory and Software EngineeringRecently, I stumbled upon an interesting email. It was in Spanish(found it) so be merciful with me as I attempt to translate and paraphrase: 1969, Stanford: Professor Philip Zimbardo conducted an experiment in social psychology.
How Joysticks Ruined My Graphics EngineIt's almost a tradition. Every time my graphics engine has been stuck in maintenence mode for 6 months, I'll suddenly realize I need to push out an update or implement some new feature.

Falsehoods programmers believe about timeOver the past couple of years I have spent a lot of time debugging other engineers’ test code. This was interesting work, occasionally frustrating but always informative. One might not immediately think that test code would have bugs, but of course all code has bugs and tests are no exception.

They built it for CWI's exposition "Turings Erfenis" in honor of the centenary of Alan Turing's birth on 23 June 1912. More on
