The Code of No Code

Years ago, when I was a lowly mainframe programmer, I used to think that one day people would no longer be writing all these lines of code and would instead draw pictures of what they thought a system should do and the pictures would be used to generate the code. Today they call this "Model Driven Development" and I hear that some people actually use this technique to create programs. I can neither confirm nor deny this, however :)

I Blog Therefore I Am

Actually, I can't think of anything else to write for this entry, but I always wanted to say that.

Scrum

We're taking a serious look at Agile methods at work right now and in particular Scrum for managing our software releases. I think it's going to be great for the team. All those Pigs and Chickens and planning poker and everything! Awesome!
