Quality: It's alive! It's ALIVE!

Uncle Bob — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 15:25:00 -0600

Recently James Bach wrote a compelling post entitled Quality is Dead. As much as I’d like to agree, something interesting has just happened that tempts me to believe in a rebirth.

Just when James finally declares the death of quality, along comes the Manifesto for Software Craftsmanship. This simple document that builds upon the four values declared in the Agile Manifesto went live late on Friday evening. Now, at 3PM on Saturday over 600 people have signed it!

What does this mean? I think it means that many of us have seen what James was talking about, and are tired of it. We don’t want our users posting blogs – as James did – crying that they HATE us. We want our users to be astonished by the elegance and simplicity of our creations. We want other software developers to look under the hood and be amazed and impressed at the clarity and simplicity they see.

We want to be proud of our work!

We want our quality back!

And so a few weeks ago some software developers gathered at the offices of 8th Light in Libertyville, Illinois, and began the process of creating this manifesto. There followed a very active and passionate discussion in the Software Craftsmanship email group. The end result was this manifesto.

I encourage all of you to read and sign the manifesto, join the email group, and help bring quality back to life in the software profession.

The above picture of a car was opened as a condensed embroidery design in my software. As you can see, the default colors are definitely not the “right’ colors, or the colors that will be chosen for embroidery digitizing. I have the option to change the colors so the design will look better on the computer screen.

As a embroidery digitizer and creator of stock embroidery designs, I am certain that this question is asked of me at least ten times to one of any other question. Especially for those who are new to embroidery digitizing, this is one of the most frustrating problems. Though I don’t proclaim to be a computer expert, by any means, I am going to try to explain in layman terms, why this happens and will ALWAYS happen when you open a design by digitizers who do not work in the same software in which the embroidery design is opened.

Most of the extreme heels are referred to as fetish shoes and are meant for admiration and titillation, not wearing to the office or a professional function that calls for walking.If you thought size was a problem with dress shoes and that getting really good wide width dress sandals was next to impossible, you need to think again.The women’s Softspots dress sandals are available in a wide range of sizes and widths.More notably when you are taller than your groom try to avoid high heel shoes.
