Object Thinking...Where are the good developers?
I started reading "Object Thinking" this week. If you've got $30 laying around, buy it. Its an interesting read.
"Better tools, methods, and processes will allow you to create superior software using average human resources." Now that is a money statement; one I never took the time to think of or about.
"Their <managers> distrust of human workers led them to the idea that imposed process and method could compensate for weakness they felt to be innate in workers."
"The best programmers are up to 28 times better than the worst programmers.....Given their pay is never commensurate, they are the biggest bargains in the software field."
So, I think I need to get out of this industry now as I am one of those 'worst' programmers... ;-)
Seriously though, how do you measure best to worst?
Food for thought.
