We need both engineers and artists in programming
Uncle Bob delivered a compelling keynote at RailsConf last week that put forth the argument that what we need most in programming is more professionalism. I loved the delivery, but I disagree with the conclusion. I originally never wanted to be a programmer exactly because I thought the only type of programmers that existed where the kind that...

Macroscopes, and Tools for Seeing
One of the themes that has informed my work in recent years is the idea of the macroscope, as described by Matt Webb in his talk entitled Scope. It has stuck with me for some time, so I want to pass it on. To set the stage, consider the familiar microscope. It helps us see small things. Or, put it more grandly: it's a tool for extending our...

So how do we get more women into Rails?
Now that the internet hysteria is dying down, I'd love to explore some of the more concrete things that we could do to actually get more women involved. As I've stated earlier, I doubt simply refraining from having saucy pictures of pole dancers is going to do the trick. If that was all it'd take, it'd be easy beans. There's going to be a...

Hello (Distributed) World: Designing Software that Spreads P2P
What if simply being connected to a LAN or even the Internet gave you access to any application ever run on any other computer? What if your computer could automatically retrieve and launch those applications, no matter how complex, using a simple hashed-based identifier? What if the right software just arrived at the right time? Answering...

Alpha male programmers aren't keeping women out
I just can't get into the argument that women are being kept out of programming because the male programmer is such a testosterone-powered alpha specimen of our species. Compared to most other male groups that I've experienced, the average programmer ranks only just above mathematicians in being meek, tame, and introverted. When I talk to...
