  • The Programming Rat Race

    by

    For a while now I’ve been feeling like something has been missing in my programming work. I’ve referred to it as ‘craftsmanship’ when trying to express the sentiment to someone else.

    by

  • Software Version Numbers are Meaningless

    by

    Tom McFarlin wrote a great post on software version numbers. If you put version numbers in anything then it’s a good read. I admit to agonizing over plugin version numbers.
