While I believe what you don’t know can’t know can hurt you; I also believe what you do know can hurt you. For instance the bumble bee is not aerodynamic and should not be able to fly, but he does not know this and flies anyway. Conversely, the engineer who discovered the safety glass did not know that it was impossible. So is ignorance truly bliss? Is it true that Knowledge is power?

I am of the opinion that automating the build and unit testing and everything that goes along with it is a great idea. I am not in the Test Driven camp. I also like Continuous Integration but not when first starting up a project because it would break every 5 seconds. I also think that there is a place for documentation. Here is why. When on a long project with consultants where the team is changing XP is not all that great. Because the new people coming on have nothing to get them up to speed. No documentation and having the customer intimately involved in the development doesn’t work in consulting if the project is long running or the team is changing.
My 2 cents.
Very disappointed in teams systems Unit Testing.
I hope this feedback gets back to Microsoft (either through my blog or feedback from MVPs at the MVP summit).
There is a great article over at ondotnet.com about .Net Unit testing. There are so many tools available for automating code testing. Sean McCormack (C#

I think Steve Gilmore is on to something here. I have noticed that with blogs and podcasts coming at me a million miles an hour and only getting fast as I go mobile to try to keep up, that I have more content than I have time. I thin kit would be great if the large companies can work it out go take a look at AttentionTrust.org and AttentionXML.

Though a strange name, Microsoft’s HoneyMonkey project (along with Strider), has proven to be a great way to find vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. Head over to the Security Now! Podcast and learn more.
The uses for Virtual PC are so amazing to me. It is not just for testers, developers or admins it is now for simulating human use of the internet! Very cool. I wonder if they are doing clever stuff with the VPC API???
Enterprise Library WMI and Performance Monitor problems
Tom has a great blog entry on how to turn off the WMI / Performance Monitor instrumentation for the Microsoft Patterns and Practices Enterprise Library. Unfortunately, you have to recompile it. No problem for use since we have done lots of customizations! In the next version this will be a configuration setting.
