Good technical blog

I stumbled on Gustavo Duarte’s blog this week via this post about how lucky we are to be programmers.

The post that led me to his blog is good stuff and has had lots of linkage this week. The rest of the blog is also good stuff; I especially like the “Reality Driven Development” post which fits nicely with my “thin thread of functionality” way of designing software. I’ve always tended to design from the bottom up and my testing addiction has fuelled that somewhat; but I do still like to pop up to the surface on regular intervals and then drill down with a ‘spike’ of throw away code to make sure that the stuff that I’m building properly is actually what we need to build. Gustavo is far more eloquent than I am, go read him.
