Your story sounds like my one experience with the process: 1) Oh, let's do this as we need help with our planning.

ithika was talking about trying to untangle nightmarish code, I think refactor is a good place to start, What would you do?

Ah, a smart text editor. Yeah, that works as long as the editor + compiler agree on grammar though most probably will. It's more the general case that people are worried about for the dangling else problem where the standards/developers can't rely on sufficiently smart editors that the article is worried.

I'm just an idiot C# programmer, but I suspected the solution was to just invoke/tell the window to close itself. I'm a bit confused how they over-engineered this solution. Though, sometimes dealing with WinForms on different threads can feel like "simply dropping The Ring into that lava pit over there."

You inspired me to implement my own version. I took two assumptions into my version of the mutate() method: - Instead of replacing elements of the input string with complete random characters, only allow valid characters that appear in the target String and choose a random one on each mutation step. - Dont change char...

Your mutation function only mutates a single character at a time. Would the algorithm reach its destination faster if two or more characters mutated at a time? That might be an interesting direction for continued exploration. You've managed to evolve a random string to a known answer, but why not try to evolve the algo...

JSF 2 is a gigantic improvement for sure. It also fully represents the change of teams. 1.0 and 1.1 were created and led by Craig McClanahan of Struts 'fame'. They were rather rubbish really.

I've always worked on the principle that the product owner can't add anything to the sprint backlog, but if the developers get through the sprint backlog and pick some stuff off the top of the product backlog, that's a bonus. That won't work for everyone, of course. Depends on the environment a lot.

I think a better biological definition of "end point" is to produce copies(offspring) of yourself. And by 'yourself', I roughly mean a gene.
