Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Anti-Patterns, Refactoring Software, Architectures, and Projects in Crisis

This week I (re-)read the Anti-Patterns book, which I first read more than 10 years ago. The idea of Anti-Patterns is that there are various unproductive behavior modes in software engineering which result in similar problems, and can be treated in similar ways. This book is well worth a review now and again.

 I think the anti-pattern most relevant to the netCDF libraries is Project Mismanagement, for which I blame no one other than myself. ;-0

It's interesting that the solution to this anti-pattern, risk analysis, is something that is already underway for future netCDF releases.
