Must read .NET dev blog - Ayende

I stumbled across Ayende's site in February looking for an NHibernate UI. His NHibernate Query Analyzer's pretty nice - check out the Flash demo. I was blown away by Ayende's blog, though, and it's been one of my favorites since then.

Ayende1 wrote back in April about Blog Driven Development: Code a little -> Test a little -> Blog a lot. And when he says a lot, he means it - he averages more than 75 posts a month, and it's all really solid technical content. He's a one man coding army. Lately he's had some great SQL stuff, OR/M and NHibernate, TDD, and tons of great C# code. 

I've noticed that Ayende's been showing up in Jason Haley's Interesting Finds lately and K. Scott Allen (OdeToCode) has been having fun with his SQL challenges, so word's getting out. Beat the rush and subscribe now!

1 Ayende's real name is apparently Oren. Not sure what the deal is there.

I'm convinced Ayende is not a single entity but a team working 24hrs a day contributing to his blog and various forums as there's very seldom a time when I open Outlook or RSSBandit that there's not several new posts on various newsgroups or on his blog by Ayende :P And like you said, good technical content as well.

Thanks for answering the question that's been keeping us up at night, Ayende. A agree, though, you must just be the spokesman for a huge team of technically advanced alien beings. I hope you are all friendly and treat us simple earthlings well.

Fact: Ayende can work on his laptop writing a post about serializing a tree object and participate in a discussion in a user group about TDD at the same time.

@Miki,

I only did it once. And I didn't write the post when I was talking.
