Resume-Driven Development

Daniel H Steinberg: Fragile Programming with RDD

(Daniel is a co-author of WROX's book about WebObjects)

I know a LOT of developers that practice RDD. Here in Victoria, where IT jobs have long been scarce, it's unfortunately been quite common to push for systems to be re-implemented from scratch using whatever the cool new technology-du-jour is so that one can get that tech on their resume.

Kirby Urner’s Python in the Mathematics Curriculum talk

When Kirby Urner was at the Plone Sprint I hosted last year, I had no idea of his history with Python and Mathematics. His work is amazing!

Today, Simon Willison linked to Kirby's PyCon 2004 talk, Python in the Mathematics Curriculum. Wow, I wish I had been there for the talk... I wonder if it was filmed or recorded.

Kirby's site, A Mathematical Canvas, part of the Oregon Curriculum Network, has tons of great information for someone interested in Computer Science and Mathematics.

SubEthaTrack – why didn’t I think of that?

SubEthaTrack - tracking documents shared in SubEthaEdit.

I wish I had thought of that, it's an obvious idea once presented! This is one of those days where light-bulbs will be flashing all over the world, innovators will be thinking of ways that this can be taken further.

Check out the Coding Monkey's chat document. It's an HTML document formatted with CSS. People can add stuff to do the document to participate in the chat, and read it using SubEthaEdit's live web preview window.

Looking back in a few years, if new ideas and ways of collaborating come out of this seed, this will be a historical day.

Thanks for the link Andre!
