Comment on Is estimation waste? by PM Hut

Hi Manuel, A lot was written about how estimates are bad/useless/waste of time (see this article), etc... But at one point, you need to give estimates to your stakeholders: How much time the project is going to take, how much will it cost? How can you dodge these questions? No company in the world will tell you take as much time and as much money as it takes to finish your project... They need numbers...

Manuel,
I wrote a similar article, but of course I said the same thing you’re saying, just using a totally different route to get there. Kudos on your article.

Comment on How to make changes to rotten legacy code by Manuel Küblböck

Hi Jero,

Java probably won’t be buried any time soon. It does, however, feel like it is stagnate. In theory you can use Spring and Struts with Scala code since it compiles down to Java byte code. I haven’t tried this though. Which language to use depends of course on the project, but if Java was the top candidate, I would definitely consider using Scala instead. I like that the code feels more elegant and is more concise. Also, I am a fan of functional programming. And Scala seems to be the most likely language to get the Java community to think in that direction.

Hi,

this is (more or less) what i’ve been doing till now and works fine!. I’m glad finding a mantra (leave the place cleaner than you found it) for sharing with my coworkers.

By the way, in your experience using Java and Scala, Java is dying? Don´t you think than free frameworks like Spring or Struts make Java easier and complete? If you could start a project from scratch, would you use Java, Scala, something else? Why?

Thanks in advance. Your blog got some great content.
