Robert on design patterns for web programming: "With the ever growing array of EJB standards, XML systems, and web application components, its quickly becoming nearly impossible to really understand what's going on. Automatic code generation from set design patterns seems to me to be a good step in helping to manage that complexity while maintaining the flexibility that each of these components has to offer." 1:50:46 AM  comment []      Cory Doctorow: My Blog, My Outboard Brain Until I started blogging. Blogging gave my knowledge-grazing direction and reward. Writing a blog entry about a useful and/or interesting subject forces me to extract the salient features of the link into a two- or three-sentence elevator pitch to my readers, whose decision to follow a link is predicated on my ability to convey its interestingness to them. This exercise fixes the subjects in my head the same way that taking notes at a lecture does, putting them in reliable and easily-accessible mentalregisters.

Haven't read through the whole thread, but I bet there are some good ideas (and bad ones!) in there.

I've been saying this for years - hopefully it's changing ;) [PSquad's Corner] 1:43:53 AM  comment []
