Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 CodeLens rocks!

We've been using the CodeLens feature of Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 for a few months now. All the years of diligently creating Work Items and Changesets with clear titles really pay off now.

It's a feature you really get used to very, very quickly. As many other people, I do not really get why this should be a feature reserved for the Ultimate edition of Visual Studio, as it is useful for any kind of developer and not just architects.

Nice kitchen analogy about avoiding too much "Work in Progress"

Dan North has written up a parable about a "Busy Kitchen" that serves as a nice analogy to people requesting features and changes in software. 

I like it much better than all the "car ordering" and "house building" analogies I've had to endure over the years. :-)
