scottberkun.com — The software industry might be the worlds greatest breeding ground for new systems of management. From Agile, to Extreme Programming , to Test Driven Development (TDD), the acronyms and frameworks keep piling up. Why?

@spuy767Don't know why you're getting dugg down, make more paragraphs maybe.Anyways, you have a good point about Creativity Vs. Productivity. I definitely overlook creativity in order to meet deadlines, and I think it sucks.

I would bet this is the most common method used in software development.

So this explains why Goldwave kicks the everloving s**t out of Sony "Soundforge".And when I say soundforge I actually mean, a program that when installed causes your monitor to spew six week old raw human toilet sewage into your eyes, nose and mouth.

This is what amazes me sometimes about digg. Comments that make valid points but potentially disagree with the majority or god forbid go over your heads get dugg down, however these two idiots copy some Denis Leary lyrics and get dugg up. Group think at its finest.

PHP is a recursive acronym.

Your post was:"Technobabble technobabble who cares history techobabble 1mhThat was technobabble to you? The guy was simply saying that coding solo produces coherent code, and coding by committee produces bloat, which is a perfectly respectable opinion and not at all technobabble, and some of us actually do care about history a little bit instead of just wanting "10 seconds of witty soundbite" like you seem to prefer. Let me guess, you're not a coder are you? More like a 14 year old who thinks he's cool because he's got a cable modem, right?

The problem with every computer job posting website, and big companies such as Google and Microsoft, is they all require college degrees, and in some cases, Master's Degrees. As far as I know, that is BS... Einstein flunked out of college, and a good chunk of all the hacking that went on that propelled the PC revolution was done by total academic losers and American rebels. These companies have basically forgotten their roots and are shooting themselves in the foot, and eventually will create rot from within. A lot of bashing has gone on of duck tape programmers and coders, who can sling code together and get something working, even though its not perfect or pretty... I'm not talking about Indian programmers that bulls**t and say they know how to do something and can do the job but have no clue what they are doing... I'm talking about American coders that cut their teeth on the 8 bits and knew how to program their first 'box' before they got it home from Sears. I myself am one of those code slingers... you know, there is a hell of a lot to be said for that. I can make something exist, and can hack my way when you are coding into the unknown and working from scratch... most coders being cranked out of these schools couldn't dream up something innovative, and then spend several months on their own, without funding, in passionate hacking marathons, whipping and tweaking their vision for a project up all night after night, to save their lives.Everything I learned about computers, networking, building, coding, and development, I taught myself. Without a college. And without a degree. Why? Because I have the passion. The passion of the amateur hacker. An amateur hacker will beat a professional hacker any day of the week. Amateur derives from the latin root "amo", to love... and that's what an amateur does... he hacks because he loves it. Professionals can slander us all they want... I see it all across the net... you have to code this way, or comment this way, and so on and so forth... thats all good when you've already mastered something, then you want to tell people the right way and best way to do things... but when you're out on the ice, when you're learning something new, to think like that is bulls**t. Your code is going to be messy as hell, because you are cutting and pasting examples, you are testing and learning and hacking around idiocincracies, you're like a new baby learning language for the first time. You're knee deep in the zone, outside of your box of the familiar. And that's when the gears in your head are spinning and weaving their most complex dances. So why hire a sloppy duck tape programmer? Because in todays world, technologies go obsolete overnight, and you are always out of your zone. You're always tying this with that with something you've never heard of before today, and you've got hundreds of web windows open about this type of code or that. The sloppy duck tape programmer types are the one's that whipped up the improvised hack that brought the Apollo 13 mission home safely. Sloppy programmers without lives, without college degrees, are who you want on your team. Cause we rock. We are stone cold hardcore hackers. So all you job boards with your requirements for a college degree, and all you snotty assh**e software project managers that want to grill us on this or that during an interview... kiss off. It doesn't matter if I don't know Ruby on Rails or whatever is this months flavor darling keyword language or tool you search for through the resumes... I can pull of the information on it and learn just what I need to know about it to get the job done in a New York second. And use my expensive brain elsewhere than learning stuff that will never be relevant to the project of a language. einstein <a class="user" href="http://anarchy-tv.com">http://anarchy-tv.com</a>

This cant get more true and its amazing that many of the truths in life and career are so funny if you look at it in the rightway. And few get the ball to say it loud.
