I really really really like this post. This is one of those things where the person is pretty smart, but they're working in a vacuum. I think communication is the overall key here, and code reviews. I've been introduced to so many tools 3/4 of the way through a project that quite often replace almost all of what I was working on. Part of that is my fault for not communicating enough and part of it is serendipity, getting in touch with the right person at the right time.
Regardless, more communication lends itself to more chances for these encounters.
Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax, you're god damn right I'm living in the fucking past

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
