Beauty and the Monsters on the Mac App Store

A word of appreciation to 

And a few others who fill the gap between good apps from apple
and apps that should be listed in http://readthefuckinghig.tumblr.com/ and similar halls of shame.

Thank you, for bringing quality to the Mac App Store.

I am sad that so many great software houses/indy developers are left out from this first wave of Apps on the Mac App Store.

So many new wannabe software houses and indy developers are rushing in without a curated app.

SATA?

The low quality of the enclosure of Western Digital myPassport external disks often make the hard drive not responding when connected to a pc.
The disk works out of the enclosure and with some pressure to the connector applied.

The bad, bought a new enclosure to replace the original only to find out that the SATA/microUSB combo makes it almost impossible to connect with anything SATA at all.

Educate yourself as a Programmer

I would write something in the lines of Joel, but I do not have yet the experience nor better words than his words. Part os the education of a programmer I believe is to learn from others experiences.

Worth the time:

  1. Simplicity vs. Choice
  2. About re-writting from scratch
  3. 12 Steps for better code

Altho the above 3 are my favorite ones (so far) and would apply to any beginner to advanced programmer if you like the reading chances are that you will enjoy the rest.

More from Joel

Head to http://www.joelonsoftware.com/

From the organized list by categories : Top 10, New Developer, Rock Star Developer, Tech Lead, CEO, Program Manager, Software designer, Product Manager, Recruiter.

Microblogging

Have you ever noticed that cvs, svn , git commit messages are much like Microblogging under the same topic? Altho I enjoy it's not personal.

That's why blogs from developers are often more interesting and inspiring. That is the why and how of the what was done humanized.

A few favorites of mine:
