A bit of a ranty blog today.

I really want to write software that's actually good.

Increasingly, I believe the trick to doing this isn't #types, or #proglang , or formal methods, or #agile, or #XP, or #TDD, or any other fancy technique, process, or technology. It's Care.

And the reason most software still sucks? It's not stupidity, and it's not because everyone else has been duped by the "wrong" development ideology (waterfall, formal methods, agile, etc). It's the Market.

Here's what #openbsd , #slackware, and #emacs are teaching me about taking the time to work on what matters.
