I originally sent this to the qt-interest mailing list but haven’t seen it bubble out to the world so re-posting here and, hopefully many other places. === This is becoming a growing issue in the industry. The Console object needs to be removed from Qt. The project I walked onto I had to spend a week digging it out because it violates the coding standards but that story was pushed deep into the backlog and … Qt 6 – Remove Console from JavaScript and QMLRead more

Did AGILE make the 737 Max fall from the sky?
AGILE. The new corporate buzz phrase for hacking on the fly. Keller MBAs in a room sounding like a yard full of chickens chanting “cut costs, cut costs, cut costs” have been falling all over themselves because when you remove engineering from “software engineering,” it’s cheaper.

It took quite a bit of poking around to get as far as I am. Doing a whole bunch of training at a new client site and coming home with a brain of mush doesn’t help either. Adding insult to injury it seems that 90% of the “working code” posted on Stack Exchange is non-functioning feces which won’t even compile. When you need grown up answers, don’t go to Stack Exchange. It’s a place for … Qt and USB – Pt. 7Read more
