This so needed to be said: ...this notion of a cloud of anonymized services that you can discover in real-time and bind together at run-time to create a new application from scratch is just an absurdity. Clay Shirky [from John Robb's Radio Weblog] 6:51:22 PM

The Joel Test: 12 Steps to Better Code. A score of 12 is perfect, 11 is tolerable, but 10 or lower and you've got serious problems. The truth is that most software organizations are running with a score of 2 or 3, and they need serious help, because companies like Microsoft run at 12 full-time." I score our group at six. Looks like we need serious help. [On The Mark] I can only claim a puny 2, and that's the obvious ones of source control and bug tracking. But I get to do a pretty respectable amount of .NET and XML work; and I work from home. 6:00:36 PM
