Charles Simonyi introduced the idea of "organizing really big software teams by creating one super duper uber programmer writing the top-level functions, while handing off the implementation of the lower-level functions to a team of grunt junior-programmers as needed. They called this position program manager." I want to know what are the Top-level functions, and how can I identify it? My language is Javascript. So far that's the only language I know hence please give me examples using JavaScript please. BTW, the quote above is taken from Joel Spolsky. Check out his blog and read How to be a

As software developers we create lots of... well... code. Much of the code we produce can go towards a new feature or an enhancement to an existing feature. When this is the case, how do we know when this feature is done ? What does done mean in the context of a feature? For example, to Company A this may mean many different things like, Meets customer requirements (which is tricky in itself) No

At the place I am working we are moving to a more agile approach to project management. For tool support for project management I used MS Project and Target Process in the past. But I think they both have serious weaknesses: MS Project is not very intuitive and therefore hard to use especially for novice users. It doesn't really fit the agile approach Target Process seems only half done. E.g. users can set their own privileges to admin.

Basically I need a hosted solution, where one can create an account for a project and the distributed team members can interact through that site during the project implementation. I know a lot of such software but not a hosted one. I think Basecamp is the most popular one. I'm trying the CodeSpaces now. Looks promising. I use codeplex.com from Microsoft and find it excellent, it now accepts svn

I'm a committer on a project with a GitHub repo. I have a small team of developers who can't read from or commit to that repo. I'd like to setup a git server they can commit to that is a clone of the GitHub repo. When they make commits, I will review them, sometimes make edits, then push to the GitHub repo. My question is, since I'll sometimes be altering their commits, what is the best workflow for pulling changes from GitHub back to my clone server so that everyone's history doesn't get messed up? EDIT: To clarify, I don't necessarily mean that commits will be edited. But I may need to
