How do you guys estimate the number of hours needed for the project of this size before starting to work? Based on number of requirements?

How many screens does each team implement?

Every abstraction layer invokes the same diatribes

I don't know how long most of you folks have been writing code, but it has been my experience that every time we try to move to a higher level of abstraction we encounter the same resistance. When assembly was overtaken by compiled/functional languages....

"While MDA is a much more mature technology than Cugnot's automobile (there are viable implementations out there now, including OptimalJ), it is still maturing. For example, the round tripping issue needs to be addressed. Nevertheless, looking at...

Thanks!

Thanks - I haven't had a really good laugh from TSS in a long time. My own version is far less funny "and shazam - your architects are now a major bottleneck on the project!".

Code is generated from a pattern. Patterns are assessible to skilled knowledgable architects via pattern authoring. Generated code is guarded so that if you want to change something as a developer is concerned you check in with the architect to make...

Alot of the negativity you may be seeing here is due to the fact that people have heard _exactly_ the same line for the past 20 years. And each new modelling fad tells how it's magically different from the older (failed) one, and how this time it really...

Nicolas Cugnot introduced the first steam-powered road vehicle in 1769. Imagine the TSS discussion thread it might have provoked: Many would express curiosity and intrigue over the idea of a self-propelled vehicle. But others would be skeptical. One...

I wouldn't call the petstore the "ecommerce" problem. First of all, there is no commerce involved in it. Secondly, it covers only one potential aspect of ecommerce: the shopping cart. It may sound banal to refer to...
