Distributed Development

One of the things that I really enjoy is working in a distributed development team which spans the globe. On occasion, however it can be a little frustrating. Yesterday I returned a defect to the originator asking for some diagnostic trace. It was here for me when I arrived in the morning. Excellent I thought, I’ll get it squared away today. Then I went looking for the particular piece of trace which would provide the critical information. What did I find?

The originator tried to be helpful, and unfortunately, this time, it’ll slow us down some while I wait for him to get into the office in the US and send me the original file. That’s one of the downsides of distributed development…

I’m David Illsley, I work in Web Services development at IBM Hursley, which involves work on the Apache WS Project, where I am a committer and PMC member. When not working with technology, I spend a lot of time on the backstage aspects of theatre, and a sadly decreasing amount of time reading.
