Dont' use RAR archives for files

I see that some developers send their files using RAR archive. It's convenient to send files in archives. It's ok. But RAR archivator is paid software. File receiver may not be able to extract files. There is a simple solution for this problem. You should use ZIP achive for packed files. There is a lot of free tools which allow unpack files.

Conclusion: ZIP file should be used for files sent to client. You may use other formats if you are 100% sure that receiver will be able to unpack files.

Notify your team when yor are going to leave the office

What a strange situation? I want to discuss developer activity and can't find him! I'm not a manager, but i'm a team lead and i'm planing activity of this developer. So if developer is leaving office without any notification he should be punished. He should notify manager and his team. It's everything clear about boss. By why all team? Because team members may have questions to leaving person. So it's better to answer these questions before leaving the office. Otherive will have problems for sure!

Conclusion: If you don't want to have problems with your boss so don't leave the office without notifying him and your team.
