Martin Fowler posted a great article today on his bliki commenting on how in most cases a person with good design skills is more valuable to a team than a person with good programming platform skills. I read this article and even as a programmer, I completely agree with him. In my experience, finding someone …

The wife of a friend of mine just sent me a link to a an animated video of the song, “JCB“, by the UK band Nizlopi. The song has a good melody, and a rather catchy hook which I will undoubtedly be humming and singing for the next couple of weeks. At least I can …
