Oh and here is one more...don't wait until the last minute and then foist your heaping pile of Shit on the QA people, then leave for a convention with your fellow developers while everyone in the office goes code Red because customer's servers are now crashing across the country! :-) QA should be validation, not a festering pool of trouble tickets.~DokterKennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460323110926747328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455540866725604198.post-24889977652024636222009-05-11T09:42:00.000-04:002009-05-11T09:42:00.000-04:00I can only add one thing: remember that the admins...I can only add one thing: remember that the admins are human beings as well! Too often they are treated as a separate race who live apart from normal human frustrations. So if you *haven't* done time as a sys admin, at least remember they are (despite their God-like qualities and feeble propensity to consume fantasy literature) pretty much like you and me. Except they enjoy dicking round with computers even more than we do!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15732819755000554717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455540866725604198.post-28194037293379126292009-05-11T09:35:00.000-04:002009-05-11T09:35:00.000-04:00encolpe: You list some good tools, however I disag...encolpe: You list some good tools, however I disagree because Katie's post had a lot more than technical issues involved. While your set of tools is really useful, it doesn't address the issue of developers like me dumping off a set of packages and commands and then running to the bar for happy hour.<br /><br />Not that I've ever done that. Really. Not me. Not at all. ;)pydannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481523876497446983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455540866725604198.post-30065887919167897072009-05-11T09:22:00.000-04:002009-05-11T09:22:00.000-04:00I'd shift direction slightly: don't script your in...I'd shift direction slightly: don't script your installs by hand, do script them using the package feature of your operating system. Being able to push out packages with dependencies, upgrade handling, etc. saves the sysadmins a ton of time but not if it involves someone's attempt to reinvent dpkg/rpm by hand in 30 lines of bash.Chris Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515146557026887053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455540866725604198.post-7350394887217121262009-05-11T09:04:00.000-04:002009-05-11T09:04:00.000-04:00All these requirements can be reached by python ap...All these requirements can be reached by python appication now: <br />- virtualenv to setup a repeatable environment<br />- zc.buildout + collective releaser to build binary release (it still misses a packager system)<br />- fabric to deploy your application across the network<br /><br />All these tools are testable, if developers want to...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
