Years ago, I worked with Paul Pazniokas at a company named Posse, where we worked on systems to allow retailers to gain control of their back offices.
Now, Paul has come up with an idea called VoteWord that would allow folks to audit their vote made on an electronic voting device. The idea is Patent Pending, and simple, yet cool. Check his site here.
Here is a link to an article I just wrote for Red Gate. It is an opinion piece about my reaction to a recent article that suggests that you cannot make a career out of coding. As I mention in the article, I had already been told I was "too old to code." What do you think? Is there a link between the sad state of software reliability (overall) and the fact that experienced coders are encouraged, because of a lack of a developer's career path, to go into sales or management in order to continue to progress in their career.
What do you think?
