[This is actually a repost from my personal blog, but I think the technical audience might “dig” it as well.] Innovation is hard. You can definitely foster it, but you can't really force it. It's completely fascinating when people innovate in a massively...
I'm not shy about telling people that I'm not much of a computer science kind of guy. It's not that I don't respect computer science or understand it, I'm just not one to get academic over it to the point of not building anything. And while I can't always...
[Note: I originally posted this on my personal blog , but it occurs to me that it’s likely something of general interest to software developers. -J] Today is my last day working for Humana, after about a year. One of the initial considerations in taking...
(This is another cross-post from my personal blog . I don’t even remember when I first started to write it, but I feel like my opinion is well enough baked to share.) I've been sitting on this for a long time, particularly as my opinion has changed dramatically...

(This is a repost from my personal blog , but I figure the audience here is also, if not more, appropriate.) I don't usually read anything that Robert Scoble says, because he's about as relevant to technology as my cats are, but the High Scalability blog...
I can't say that I've ever known any kind of Web-based service to suck as much as Twitter, yet be as simple and popular. It really boggles the mind. As just a regular user, it can be annoying enough with the constant outages and failures. As a developer...
It sounds like something to write in a one year anniversary post, but I have to say that I get slightly annoyed at what people say Microsoft is. It's the typical news story and blog comment noise, and I probably shouldn't care, but it still annoys me...
