Jason R. Briggs at ONLamp.com – LAMP and the Spread Toolkit: „I don’t believe it makes a lot of sense to receive messages in a PHP app (which is not to say in certain circumstances it might not be necessary, just that I’d prefer otherwise). So, from a design perspective in a multi-language environment, while…

Adam Bosworth – Building and Blogging again: „Some extremely clear-headed and smart people can work out everything abstractly in their heads and then just go and implement it. I’m not one of them. Watching me write code is like watching an indecisive sculptor work with clay. I shape it. I look. I wince. I reshape…
