Hacknot Is Cool

170 words.

I’ve been trying to fill my news reader with good blogs on software development, both to expand my knowledge and to peek at the state-of-the-art in programmer blogging.  Most of the blogs I see are not interesting, not informative, and/or not focused.  But today I came across Hacknot, which hits it out of the park, as far as I’m concerned.  (It’s actually more of an e-periodical than a blog… it’s not updated often.)  I really like the essay Developers are from Mars, Programmers are from Venus.  (I’m a developer, obviously. :)

It’s surprisingly rare to run across people that share my own personal “vision” of software development.  I don’t know exactly how to describe my vision; I just know it’s not very common in the information technology world, where there is a very strong focus on buzz words.  Maybe it’s because of my somewhat unique career path.  I spent some ten years trying to make a living by writing consumer Amiga software - that probably explains a lot of things.
