Yes, yes! To Obi-Wan Tim O’Reilly you listen.
Hi there, you've reached my Tumblelog
Anything interesting, amusing and useful that I happen to chance upon day to day goes on here, so you've got a partial feed to my thought stream.
The driver spent all his money on an expensive car and ended up socially bankrupt I guess.
Another day…another prozac.
Why do you who follow me on twitter…follow me?
Sometimes it seems like my life as it was, is and will be is all made up by me.
The researchers used mothers, but I can tell you it’s the same when fathers do it as well.
Software isn’t about methodologies, languages, or even operating systems. It is about working applications. At Adobe I would have learned the art of building massive applications that generate millions of dollars in revenue. Sure, PostScript wasn’t the sexiest application, and it was written in old school C, but it performed a significant and useful task that thousands (if not millions) of people relied on to do their job. There could hardly be a better place to learn the skills of building commercial applications, no matter the tools that were employed at the time. I did learn an important lesson at ObjectSpace. A UML diagram can’t push 500 pages per minute through a RIP. There are two types of people in this industry. Talkers and Doers. ObjectSpace was a company of talkers. Adobe is a company of doers. Adobe took in $430 million in revenue last quarter. ObjectSpace is long bankrupt.
I get it. Others don’t. And I’m no better for it…
