I agree with most of this issues, but it sounds like his editor doesn't have auto import and jump to definition like Eclipse. eg complaint about nested packages. (not that I agree …

Wow, genius. Good point, it doesn't need to be wireless to look good.

That's why I find it's much better to find and follow someone with similar tastes to you that posts a lot on chowhound or other forums. Never really got Yelp. Taste in food is too …

He takes the time to link to "patent medicine" and "swamp root" but not to a single TED talk illustrating his point? Lame.

Haven't looked into it, but supposedly with BB6+ you can make apps with HTML5/JS. I switched back from iPhone for the bold 9900. It's come a long way.

Wait, so your saying your devs aren't allowed to listen to music through their headphones? Inconceivable.

"Don't make me think" is a pretty good book on this topic.

Sure, but as the guy talks about in the article, he is hands on. He just spends a certain fraction of his time trying to maintain a global picture of the project and applying insig…

I like this quote: Perhaps my biggest advantage is that, while I do spend some time coding, when I think about our software I am not constrained by the fear that I will have to imp…

It's not supposed to be something you learn from, but something you reference. Really? That's the exact opposite of how I think of it. An encyclopedia is something you learn an ini…

super(myclass, self) was. Like I posted below, sometimes I have real trouble keeping the 5 or so languages I use straight. The other day I actually forgot what 'None' is in python …
