Hah! I've been thinking about this blog, and came across this blog post that says it all about blogging, and very eloquently too: Steve Yegge: You should write blogs
I've also been reading: Joel on Software and I also like Scott Ambler
All of that is funny, because Steve Yegge has a recent post complaining about how sucky Agile development (which is what Scott Ambler writes about), which in turn was blogged by Joel!. Three of my favorite writers, all blogged together.
I personally think Agile is very cool, but I live in a vacuum: I'm the only person developing software in my company. Everything I've learned has been by reading books, and just writing software. I've been writing code for fifteen(oops 18)years and I'm pretty good at it.
To me, Agile development mirrors the processes that I developed through trial and error over the years, and makes perfect sense. I think Steve Yegge's comments are pretty much really about bad managers pushing agile onto people who don't want it.
Anyhow, thanks to Stevey for giving me something to blog about AND publishing the article that got me to jump back in here after six months!
