Jared Richardson’s talk titled “Build Teams, not Products,” in particular, was one of the best presentations I’ve ever witnessed. It was just one of those talks where all the points seem tautologic...

70,000 Lines of Code in 4 Routines. Awesome! (May 8)
It's good to read a story like this every now and again just to remind yourself how bad it is in some places.

Two Weeks Notice

I'm not sure how to file this... humor? Misc? Anti-agile? I'll go with humor.

Andy Hunt at AgileRTP tonight (May 6)
Just a quick reminder, if you're in the RTP, NC area, come join us tonight and hear Andy Hunt.

We're also raffling off a pass to the Research Triangle Software Symposium, the local incarnation of the popular NFJS Java conference tour.

More details are on the meetup page

Rumor has it that Andy might exercise the speaker's privilege to change the topic to the future of Agile. See you tonight.

Cobertura Eclipse Plugin: Make Some Cash (May 5)
Cobertura has an Eclipse plugin, but it's suffering from neglect. So I'm putting a small bounty on it. $250 to the person who gets it back up and running.

My requirements for the plugin?

-Runs Cobertura from within Eclipse
-Highlights your tested and untested source code
-It'd have to run to one of the core committer's satisfaction. When they're happy, I'll mail you a check. It's not a ton of money, but it's a few dollars.

There you go... there's a file in the build (eclipse-plugin.zip) that'd make a fine starting point.

Given that so many people at are Java One this week, it might be a bad time to announce this... on the other hand, with so many people busy, it might be ~your~ chance to get a head start. :)
