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

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 ...

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 ...

Steve
Yegge posted the transcript from a talk on dynamic languages that he gave at Stanford.
Cedric Beust posted a response to
Steve's talk, espousing statically-typed languages.
Numerous comments and flamewars erupted, not to mention a Star Wars analogy (which always makes
things more fun).
This is my feeble attempt to play ...

Not too long ago, Don
wrote:
The three most “personal” choices a developer makes are language, tool, and OS.
No.
That may be true for somebody who works for a large commercial or open source vendor,
whose team is building something that fits into one of those three categories and
wants to see that language/tool/OS ...

Kohsuke Kawagachi has posted a blog entry describing how to watch the assembly code
get generated by the JVM during execution, using a non-product (debug or fastdebug)
build of Hotspot and the -XX:+PrintOptoAssembly flag, a trick he says he learned while
at TheServerSide Java Symposium a few weeks ago in Vegas. He goes on to do some ...
