A software team basically has two responsibilities: Build features and fix their broken-ass software. A lot of time business needs pressure the former to take precedent over the latter, and we live with that. It's called technical debt, and it's a tool like any to get software shipped.

Logically, we all know that the refactoring and edge-case clean up eventually needs to happen. But eventually can lead to never and the software rots and becomes chaotic. This things behaviors that lead us down the path of crappy, broken software are not usually "logical", they are human, emotional behaviors. Perhaps we feel too ashamed to bring up the fix of the software we wrote, or too polite to tell others. Possibly the business has stressed growth and features to the point where we just don't know where refactoring fits into the schedule. Maybe the people in charge don't even understand the _concept_ of refactoring or technical debt, or don't want to pay for additional work to software that is "done". There are good situations, but every situation has at least a hint of these sorts of behaviors.

You may try endlessly to come up with systems to solve the issues. Trello board after Trello board assigned to the issues, ticket points, sprint cycles, on and on and on. While process is part of it, the big barrier is emotional. Refactoring code doesn't "feel" like progress. What we need are habits, personal and organizational, that reinforce the things we logically know need to get done.

Celebrate refactorings and small fixes. Celebrate them a bunch. Cheer on pull requests that tackle that code nobody wanted to touch. At your all hands meetings, take a moment to honor someone who deleted 100 lines of dead code, or wrote a critical feature test nobody wanted to write because it required mocking a really fickle endpoint. You need process, but process can't make people want to do it. If making _feels great_, people will do it.

Most of the time waiting for code to be perfect is a terrible habit for teams and individuals. Endlessly bikeshedding over details in the name of perfect software is an anti-pattern we want to avoid here. It is possible that applauding the fixes could take attention off of the much-needed shipping, but I would say it's the opposite. If developers know that cleaning things up in the near future is a possibility, shipping good—not perfect—code also becomes easier. 

Applaud the behavior that hardens your code and makes building new features a sustainable effort.

Yesterday I wanted to enable Travis CI for an university project where we're using [.NET Core](https://www.microsoft.com/net/core). Although [Travis currently supports .NET Core builds](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/csharp/#Choosing-runtime-and-version-to-test-against), it does not yet include the new [.NET Core tools 1.0](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/03/07/announcing-net-core-tools-1-0/). A new version of the Core tools is necessary if you try to build projects using the `.csproj` Project files instead of the `project.json` files.

It turned out to be fairly simple to install the sdk from Microsoft's Ubuntu repository, as documented [here](https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#linuxubuntu). All we had to do was adding the repository to Travis and installing the apt package:

```yaml
addons:
  apt:
    sources:
    - sourceline: 'deb [arch=amd64] https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet-release/ trusty main'
      key_url: 'https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/keys/microsoft.asc'
    packages:
    - dotnet-dev-1.0.1
```

That's it. The Travis image was then able to install packages of all projects of the solution and build everything. I'm sure Travis will soon update their images and documentation to make this installation easier. You can find the full [.travis config file on GitHub](https://github.com/ChristophWurst/dotnet_core_travis/blob/2fd055b7dbbb74323618de95bbefd66540d4c55b/.travis.yml).

## I began coding because...

I'm good at it and I like it.  Also I'm as bad at chem lab as I am at cooking.  Coding stays in the realm of the mind and doesn't catch on fire if you get distracted.  Well, it usually doesn't.  When has that ever happened except that one time?

## I'm currently hacking on...

Ground control software for GPS satellites.

## I'm excited about...

Space X
Play It Forward.  https://www.facebook.com/mtgforward/
Project Orion
The next Ilona Andrews book coming out.

## My advice for other women who code is...

Evaluate criticism you are given to see if it is fair before accepting it.

## I began coding because...

I had far too much free time in a previous job, and having already built several websites for locals bands, I thought I'd use that wasted time on the job to teach myself my first coding language, ASP, and some SQL database administration. 9 months later I got my first (essentially junior) development position.

## I'm currently hacking on...

I'm currently on disability, but I keep my hand in by building programs and games for myself and my family to use. I spend a fair amount of time learning new technologies, languages, and their applications to ensure I don't fall behind or get rusty.

## I'm excited about...

Getting back into the workforce at some point soon! There are so many exciting new technologies out there that make it a great time to be a developer. I'd also would like to try my hand at building more robust mobile apps.

## My advice for other women who code is...

Ignore anyone who thinks your brain doesn't function in the "right way" to code. You know your own strengths, and the longer you're out there showing what you can do, the more respect you'll earn. True, it isn't right that women should have to work so much harder to prove ourselves in STEM careers, but the more we show 'em all how it's done, the more normalized women in tech will become.

## I began coding because...

My Dad would always pester me to try and learn some PHP, and eventually I gave in and discovered I was actually good at it! It was so much fun to start learning how to get computers to do what I wanted, that I went on to make a career out of it.

## How I got started...

I got an internship in the break between college and university, writing test scripts in PHP. I ended up re-writing their entire suite, and was promptly invited back during my next break.
They asked me to learn Java, and write more testing tools. By this point I'd earned myself a full time job which would be waiting for me after uni, because I'd proved myself and my abilities. They didn't care what gender I was.

I went from an Associate Software Engineer, to a Software Engineer, and then to a Senior Software Engineer in 3 years. 

## My advice for other women who code is...

If people in the workplace are making it hard for you to progress, then I'd say they don't deserve you. Everywhere I have worked has treated me like any other coder, and I don't see why that shouldn't happen everywhere. 
Don't get caught up with imposter syndrome, you're just as good as everyone else. Don't doubt yourself, because that just makes yourself your own worst enemy. When someone praises you, listen to them! Your work really is worth it.
Death to Jquery

Yesterday I presented ’Death to jQuery’ at Pandamonium, our internal Tech Conference at Instructure, because honestly it’s time.

jQuery was critical to the development of the web, it is the reason that most of us have jobs honestly. We would never have been able to build the web as we know it today without it. But, now... it’s time to move on.

The DOM APIs have standardized, with fetch, and the prevalence of stream based APIs generally dealing with AJAX is pretty easy cross browser in which ever flavor of API you choose. The power of the web as a platform is greater then it ever has been.

On top of that add in data driven UI layers like React and using jQuery begins to run counter to the very way we structure our applications. It is, at least in react, an anti-pattern that points to either a lack of understanding or a place that is going to be problematic for the duration of the project.

Whatever you think about jQuery the slides are at least interesting... and making the randomly generated backgrounds was really fun. Might have to write about that later.

## I began coding because...

I started college as a psychology major. While I was working in a cognitive science research lab, the graduate student who advised me asked me to analyze some data in MATLAB. I had never coded before, and I thought analyzing that data was super hard. I felt like I was bad at programming, and I hated being bad at it. So I decided to declare a computer science major. By the time I graduated, I was no longer bad at programming. 

## I'm currently hacking on...

Machine learning tools to improve healthcare (mostly built in Python). 

## I'm excited about...

* [Machine Learning](http://wimlworkshop.org/) 
* [Programming](https://github.com/dhanus)

* One day having a pet llama

![Charming Llama](http://elelur.com/data_images/mammals/llama/llama-01.jpg)

## My advice for other women who code is...

<b>Internalize the idea that you excel at what you do.</b>

I was once speaking with a (young, white, male) colleague about programming, and he announced "I know that I am a great programmer. If I do not understand something, I just need to find someone else to explain it to me differently." 

At this point, I had seen him create a number of coding disasters, so my first thought was, "What? You are?" 

Then, I realized this was actually a great way to think. When I messed things up, I would think "Ugh, I messed that up again." But when he messed things up, he would think, "I'm great at this! I just messed that up because I'm learning."

<i>So, please, go out into the world feeling like you are fantastic at what you do (no matter how many mistakes you've made today).</i>

## I began coding because...

I love making things and getting my ideas working through code is *so* gratifying! 


I started coding on my dad's Pentium i486, making BASIC programs for my high school computer class, continued learning about HTML development (View Source is still so handy) as I went along, learnt Windows32 Programming to develop EAsyInfo 2.0, a diagnostics tool for Electronic Arts and continued as a professional web developer at Microsoft. Along the way, I've worked on Games Explorer for the Windows OS ecosystem, contributed to Bing UX, and developed my own game, StarSmasher*, available for free on Apple, Google and Amazon App Stores. 

Right now, I run an indie game studio, Laughing Buddha Games, that showcases the best HTML5 indie games in the world, that anyone can play any time, any place, anywhere! We partner with nonprofits to profit share our advertising revenues, to do good while gaming, with our awesome community of rockstar gamers.

## I'm currently hacking on...

An AR/VR adaptive learning game for kids \o/

## I'm excited about...

What I'm learning and the people I meet: it seems like there are more inclusive opportunities for women these days and I'm honored to participate and contribute, however I can.

## My advice for other women who code is...

Go for it: you have nothing to fear but fear itself, as the saying goes! There are many opportunities to reach out and look for like-minded souls: Be bold, be fearless and remember, there are no failures, only opportunities to learn and become better!  :)
