You’re inside my head…
Looking back at this entry, I placed myself in my current situation. The current project is an experiment and if it's successful, television as we currently know it is going to change. It will be our job, as producers, to make sure we maintain the entertainment value.
Continuing from here:
Collective code ownership, because the code has the fingerprints of the team rather than the individual developers.
Context:
Coding standards support:
- Refactoring, because it is easier to see and to automate potential refactorings when all of the code has a similar style. (See “Coding Practice 2: Refactor Mercilessly.”)
- Pair programming, because developers can focus on the intent rather than style issues. (See “Developer Practice 2: Practice Pair Programming.”)
- Collective code ownership, because the code has the fingerprints of the team rather than the individual developers.
I am an expert in digital video, a founder of multiple companies, inventor of the verified viewing process, and have numerous patents pending concerning methods of digital video distribution. Since 1996 I have provided software and service solutions to entertainment production companies throughout Los Angeles and New York. My companies, software, and services have helped produce the television shows ‘ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,’ ‘MTV’s Yo Momma,’ ‘FOX’s Nanny 911,’ and ‘Comedy Central’s The Showbiz Show with David Spade,’ among many others.
I hold a Bachelor of Science from Arizona State University, am an active member of the Producer’s Guild of America, and public speaker. I am also a published author: Digital Video Hacks (O’Reilly; ISBN 0596009461) and Videoblogging (Wiley; ISBN 0470037881) have helped thousands of people understand how to produce and distribute digital video with a high level of competence. When not consumed with work, I live, love, and enjoy life with my family.
