We need both engineers and artists in programming

May 11 2009

Uncle Bob delivered a compelling keynote at RailsConf last week that put forth the argument that what we need most in programming is more professionalism. I loved the delivery, but I disagree with the conclusion. I originally never wanted to be a programmer exactly because I thought the only type… read more

So how do we get more women into Rails?

May 01 2009

Now that the internet hysteria is dying down, I'd love to explore some of the more concrete things that we could do to actually get more women involved. As I've stated earlier, I doubt simply refraining from having saucy pictures of pole dancers is going to do the trick. If… read more

Compared to most other male groups that I've experienced, the average programmer ranks only just above mathematicians in being meek, tame, and… read more

I'm an R rated individual

April 27 2009

I've found that the fewer masks I try to wear, the better. This means less division between the personality that's talking to my close personal friends, socializing with my colleagues, and for interacting with my hobby or business worlds.
