Developing Good Software is Damn Hard

This should be titled "Developing Good Code." Not all good software has good code, and vice versa!
I really want a bookmark that is "check back on this story in x months." Ridiculously curious to see how the feeling continues. Also, where is the job?
I work for Readify in Sydney! I really do hope the feeling continues!
:) Hope my post didn't sound like I was predicting doom. Best of luck and congrats on an awesome position!
If you have the energy, I know I would be interested in updates about practices that you knew, but that this position is bringing out as truly beneficial. Any odd synergies of ideas that you think may contribute to them working?
This make sense?

Not at all! I completely understand where the question is coming from! Thanks! :)
It's funny because I do find that more and more of the topics that were on the table back in school are coming back more important than ever, as I try to talk about in the post.
I knew about some Domain-driven development, Dependency Injection, Inversion of Control, Scrum and all the buzz-words that you usually hear. I hadn't put them to as much practice as I get to do now. It's a really well engineered project and I'm lucky to be on it. All the mentioned pattern and practices that I knew a bit about, that understanding has at least doubled by just working with it for a couple of weeks.
In a couple of months or so it will most likely feel like I've done this forever and I'll look at this as trivial work, but then something else comes up and you'll learn even more about another pattern. Am I making any sense? Did I somewhat answer the question? I'd be happy to go into more detail if you have any follow up questions or if I didn't answer your questions at all.

This all makes sense. I'm still very curious about what exactly is "making it work." If that makes sense. The attempts at DDD and similar efforts have not worked that well. Even DI has become something that is as annoying as otherwise. When your domain has all of X objects, but you find you have X+Y configuration classes, where Y is a relatively large number, it starts to get obnoxious.
I can say that the times I have relied on factory methods to create objects, this has worked out decently.

realistically, at 27 one is a long way away from senior.
It's just a title and has nothing to do with the age.

The longer you develop for, the better you become.
Am I the only one that thinks writing a blog post and then submitting it yourself to a meta site is kinda lame?
And, how else would you recommend this gentleman get traffic to comment on his work?
