2023-02-16 06:29:14 As you probably remember, I was organizing Software Quality Award in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 (six years in a row, $16K donated). The last two years I was too busy to promote it properly, to put together a team of reviewers, to evaluate results, and so on. I feel sorry about this. It's time to put this valuable activity back to life. I'm looking for a volunteer, who will do all the organizational part of the work. I will only make the final decision about the winners and will give the money for the prizes. If you are interested, text me directly: @yegor256. Open / Comment

2023-02-15 07:04:01 Just published the second lecture (82 minutes) of the PPA course ("Practical Program Analysis") in Innopolis University, about syntax analysis. I briefly explained what Yacc/Bison tools are for, how ANTLR is better, and how we use the latter in the compiler of EO. Open / Comment

2023-02-13 10:09:06 This is the first lecture (81 minutes) from the series of ten, which I'm teaching now in the Innopolis University, for BSc students. This one is about formal grammars. My primary objective in this course is to make boring stuff understandable, both for the students and for myself. Open / Comment

2023-02-10 04:16:01 Новая лекция из ВШЭ, с примерами интеграционного тестирования в нескольких моих проектах (Java и Ruby). Постарался показать наиболее интересные и сложные случаи, где unit-тестирования недостаточно. Open / Comment

2023-02-05 06:52:26 Transhumanism Inc. (2021) — роман Виктора Пелевина, в котором есть все, к чему готовит нас мировое правительство глубинное государство: социо-импланты, био-холопы, телеги в центре Москвы, фемы-человекини и нейро-страпоны. Запомнилось: "По закону холопы должны были постоянно ходить в масках вне зависимости от эпидемиологической обстановки". Open / Comment

2023-02-01 10:19:01 I just released a new package to CTAN: naive-ebnf. It may help you render EBNF in a simple plain text format. It may be more convenient than rendering a formal grammar with the help of LaTeX commands directly. The sources are in GitHub: yegor256/naive-ebnf (pull requests and stars are welcome).

2023-01-24 11:44:32 This week I start teaching a new course in Innopolis University (Russia, Kazan) for their 3rd year BSc students. The title of the course is "Practical Program Analysis". I will try to explain the theory and then demonstrate by example how it doesn't work works in my own products. Open / Comment

2023-01-20 09:20:06 Just published a new post on my blog, about the layout of unit tests: how to do it right, while most of us do it wrong. Open / Comment

2023-01-19 09:40:21 Новая лекция из ВШЭ, о философии автоматизированных тестов, зачем они нужны, когда их нужно создавать, когда удалять, и почему mocking frameworks это зло. Open / Comment

2023-01-13 21:37:46 It took me 13 years and 3 months to grow my StackOverflow account from zero to 100k reputation points, which I reached today! This blog post, which I wrote five years ago, explains why I believe StackOverflow is a mandatory tool for any programmer. I still think so and I still use it, asking a few questions every month. Big thanks to SO! Open / Comment
