Talkback
I have been programming, on various sized machines, since 1968. The tools have changed a lot in the intervening years, but the goals and techniques of producing economical, cost-effecient code have not. Read "The Mythical Man Month" for a good intro into how to produce good value for your programming dollars. The phrase Extreme Programming is just the latest slang for good techniques. It brings to mind other slang terms, phat being one. However, every generation seems to need to relearn those methods that work well. I also feel that, particularly in applications programming, writing code is just another form of communication with another human. If you are not so good at relating/communicating to other folks, you won't turn out particularly good programs/systems either. This applies especially to those of us who are down in the trenches, earning our bread and butter at some obscure shop and who may not be the genius kid hacker that we hear too much about. I often wonder though, what would we be doing had the computer not been invented?
