Leader vs commander

By -

Did you think sometimes about What is the best manager for you? I think you did it. I think about it too a lot of times. I separate a lot of character and I create my own definition for leader (this is my favorite manager and person) and commander.

Commander

I start from the commander. I define it like a person who give a task and expect the employee will resolve it. I think this is a good person for old teams with a lot of experience, which like working alone without a manager. That person can't know a domain of problems, can't know how it will be resolved and can't know what are the problems. I think a lot of managers is like a commander. Of course I have maybe only one person with this character, but I heard a lot of stories about these people, so I think they are majority (yes, I am lucky).

I think that type of character is very helpful for teams, such I mentioned, have a lot of experience. I think that the person don't must know about something, because it know person who know. If you know what I mean. We need it on company, because he can focus on the goal without dispensers.

Leader

This is a person who I need on my current experience. Why? Because it not only give a task, but he wants to improve the team's skills. It knows that everything can be improved. It can help with this process. It sees the problems and try to solve it. It is like a team coach, team manager, scrum master and team member in one body. It works very hard, because it believes that the better team give a better gain. I think this role is very helpful for young people and inexperienced, but it can manage a team with differing experience. It knows how use the team's skill and what they should learn to resolve better task. It should assess what can make every member of the team and give him opportunely tasks.

If I could be a manager in the future, I would be like this person. I prefer to create the best team from beginning rather than get it done.

Summary

This is my short reflection, about managers. A lot of managers are both commander and leader, but I want to show you my definitions and I hope I will be working with the leader a lot of time.

Why TDD is bad practice?

By -

Did you listen that TDD is bad? What do you think about it? I have my opinion about it! TDD is bad because... We don't have time to write tests first - I think this is a good point. I sometimes don't have time for that. Why? Because I need to do quickly fix on our code and deploy it. In this case I don't have time to create test after wrote production code too. The even worse case is when we have tested this part of our code and test after change doesn't work. I don't like this, because I must read tests and thinking about repair tests for new logic. I really don't like this. I would like to create new test and remove old every time when I have that situation. What's wrong with the test first on this case? Nothing, because if you have time to write tests after create code, you have time to create test before it. Don't you think so? We know how will implement it, but we don't know how testing it - I think a lot of developers have this problem,

How correctly imitate dependencies?

This is continuous of my previous post about why we should imitate our dependencies. I did it not long ago. I though about how do it properly and when I can say that it is correct. Start from test and real dependencies I am starting from the tests. I wrote the simple tests which, I though, are correct. That was my learned about dependencies. I had the good situation that I had some prepared tests before. During the writing test I got a knowledge. A lot of time, I verified what the system return. After it, I got the full automated tests for my dependency. Now, I am sure that dependency works like I think. Like my test use it. I think this is a very good advantage. Extract the interface for communicating The implementation to communicate is implemented and tested. Our test, if you implement it like functionality test, not code test, should show us, how we want to use our dependency. We know what parameters we use, what methods. We know what we want. That is a place where we must extr

Software development using Angular 5 with Spring Boot

Hi everyone. My last the bigger post is about configuration Spring Boot and Angular 5 . After that instruction we have integrated both technology on one app. If you created it you know that development is very hard in this case. We must waiting for build a client and it isn't effective. We can use webpack-dev-server to speed up this process, so this post is just about it. Angular and webpack-dev-server I think I have to explain webpack and webpack-dev-server. The first tools let pack our angular app to one or more files. This files is bundles. It is for improve speed of our app. Why? Because one page application need all files on start by assumption. The better way is load it using only one connection and one file, because establishing connection taking time. This is a few information about webpack, but what is webpack-dev-server? This is the tool. It serve our that files which webpack compiled, but it working on memory, so we have quick result on our browser. This is a amazing
