Cross post: What makes a programmer great

A conversation with a friend of mine about confidence in programming (at uni and in the working world) spawned an experimental jointly-written post, which you can find here.  It’s worth it just to see the slightly disturbing contrast between the pictures chosen for her bit and mine.

A colleague has co-written a book that dives into what I wrote about – it’s called Apprenticeship Patterns.  I think I shall have to give it another read through, I feel like I might want to write more about this in the future.

Wordpress migration, and blogging

As you may have noticed, I’ve moved from Joomla to Wordpress, as it makes just posting stuff (as I’m going to start doing again, promise!) a whole lot easier.  If you see any odd migration artifacts, give me a shout and I’ll sort it out pronto.

Apparently I’m Your Source For Entrepreneurial Asshattery

Checking where your visitors come to you from is an entertaining exercise sometimes.  The top search query driving users here isn’t anything personally identifiable (down to my famous namesake) – it is in fact ‘run someone else out of business’.

Surely someone else on the intertubes is a better source of hostile business tactics than me?
