Being a leader within your organization requires you to master the art of motivating and coaching people, which isn’t all that different from, say, programming a person. So, I'm just someone's buggy implementation of an employee?

Is confidence in Moore’s Law dwindling? Is it dead already? Or did the concept actually exist prior to Gordon Moore’s coined theory and has continually evolved over time as it will continue to do long past the end of a silicon-centric era? "But, you see, I never studied law"

Software engineers should write because it promotes many of the same skills required in programming. A core skill in both disciplines is an ability to think clearly. The best software engineers are great writers because their prose is as logical and elegant as their code. If only there were some handy site that would provide that opportunity

Ah, that's why I unwillingly start to blog about what's going into my mind!

I write songs does that count?

Pop Country (I'm a bit of a poser in this genre as I was groomed on power chord rock).

Flaws in third-party software libraries often find their way into products, a problem that will occupy developers and sysadmins next year. Thanks, Poindexter. Wouldn't have known that otherwise.

The best reason to roll your own. I really don't understand devs who seem to spend more time and effort looking for third-party libraries when they should be able to write their own.

Well, one of the reasons would be that in programmer's school they tell you 'not to re-invent the wheel'.
|
|
|
|
|
Then can you explain the wide variety of wheels? Would you want a car that uses truck wheels? Or a truck that uses train wheels? Or should we all still use wooden wheels?
|

Pshaw...that's all window dressing...wheels have been doing the same thing since the cave man days

Caves have windows?

Yeah, the entrance is dual purpose
