A while back, some programming blog (Coding Horror, maybe?) said that its audience was the cream of the programming crop... because they read *ANY* blogs, not necessarily that one. There are an awful lot of programmers out there who only treat it as a day-job, not bothering to keep their skills modern and sharp by reading blogs, listening to podcasts, participating in email lists (hey, looky what I'm doin'!), let alone writing their own blogs... and programming in their spare time is Right Out. And not only are there an awful lot of programmers like that, a lot of them are probably awful programmers! ;-) -Dave (blog reader, podcast listener, email participator, AND blog writer, times two!) -- LOOKING FOR WORK, preferably Ruby on Rails, in NoVa/DC; see main web site.
