My Must-Have JailBroken iPhone Apps
I’ve got a tonne of apps that are installed in my iPhone. But there are a few that I use regularly, and deserve special attention. I have downloaded all of these apps from the un-official Cydia store, where you can find a lot of free, and payed apps that will only work on JailBroken iPhones. For those who don’t know, out of the box, your iPhone is restricted by Apple so that your apps cannot do things like run in the back ground.
On with the list.
10 Ways To Suck At Programming
I found this article written by Donnie Garvich at http://www.finalint.com/2010/05/04/10-ways-to-suck-at-programming. But his server seems to be over loaded as it is throwing 505 Service Temporarily Unavailable message from time to time. So I have re-posted a copy of that article below:
I recently inherited a web app from a dirty, nasty, stinking contractor that claimed to be a competent enough programmer to be left alone to get things done. Unfortunately, we took him at his word. Functionally, most of the web app seemed to work at first glance. However, once the client took over the reigns and actually started using it things went downhill fast. The contractor disappeared after payment (die reputation DIE!) and I was left to try and get things working properly and performing up to snuff while the client limped along with what they had been given.
I decided to document a few of the things that I found wrong along the way. These are really just things that every good programmer should already know to avoid… but obviously some people need to be reminded (or taught).
