It's once again that time of year, and in keeping with my tradition, I'll revisit
the 2008 predictions to see how close I came before I start waxing prophetic on the
coming year. (I'm thinking that maybe the next year--2010's edition--I should actually
take a shot at predicting the next decade, but I'm not sure if I'd remember to go
back and ...

It amazes me how insular and inward-facing the software industry is. And how the ''agile''
movement is reaping the benefits of a very simple characteristic.
For example, consider Jeff Palermo's essay on ''The
Myth of Self-Organizing Teams''. Now, nothing against Jeff, or his post, per
se, but it amazes me how our industry believes that ...

The full list is here.
It's a pretty prestigious group--and I'm totally floored that I'm there next to some
pretty big names.
In homage to Ms. Sally Fields, of so many years ago... ''You like me, you really like
me''. Having somebody come up to me at a conference and tell me how much they like
my blog is second on my list of ''fun ...

As
Joel points out, we've made a draft of the SSCLI 2.0 Internals book available
for download (via his blog). Rather than tell you all about the book, which Joel summarizes
quite well, instead I thought I'd tell you about the process by which the book came
to be.
Editor's note: if you have no interest in the process by which a book ...

For those of you who were at the Cinncinnati NFJS show, please continue on to the
next blog entry in your reader--you've already heard this. For those of you who weren't,
then allow me to make the announcement:
Hi. My name's Ted Neward, and I am now a ThoughtWorker.
After four months of discussions, interviews, more discussions and ...

This comment deserves response:
First of all, if you're quoting my post, blocking out my name, and attacking me behind
my back by calling me ''our intrepid troll'', you could have shown the decency of linking
back to my original post. Here it is, for those interested in the real discussion: ...

Recently this little gem crossed my Inbox....
Professionalism = Knowledge First, Experience Last
By J----- A-----
Do you trust a doctor with diagnosing your mental problems if the doctor tells you
he's got 20 years of experience? Do you still trust that doctor when he picks up his
tools, and asks you to prepare for a ...

If you've peeked at my blog site in the last twenty minutes or so, you've probably
noticed some churn in the template in the upper-left corner; by now, it's been finalized,
and it reads ''JOB REFERRALS''.
WTHeck? Has Ted finally sold out? Sort of, not really. At least, I don't
think so.
Here's the deal: the company behind those ads, ...

The Pragmatic Programmer says, ''Learn a new language every year''. This is great advice,
not just because it puts new tools into your mental toolbox that you can pull out
on various occasions to get a job done, but also because it opens your mind to new
ideas and new concepts that will filter their way into your code even without ...

As Amanda notes,
I'm riding with 46 other folks (and lots of beer) on a bus from Michigan to devLink
in Tennessee, as part of sponsoring the show. (I think she got my language preferences
just a teensy bit mixed up, though.)
Which brings up a related point, actually: Amanda (of ''the great F# T-shirt'' fame
from TechEd this year) and I ...
