Motivating IT people to change, talking to developers
You know how things go. Somedays, all of the sudden, it’s 4:17 and you have your last meeting of the day at 4:30, and it’s also your daughter’s third birthday, so you need to get to that. And while you managed to eat a really great sandwich, it also, turns out no one’s walked the…

It’s hard to know if there’s too much stuff should be doing, or if I have it project managed well enough that I don’t need to worry about it right now. Below, a little bit on being cool with security in open source usage (survey says!) and the usual collection of interesting words seen, stuff…

Link: The Cost of Developers
That’s a lot of money. “on the other side of the spectrum, purely enterprise-focused companies like IBM or Oracle would be tempted to wring every possible bit of profit out of the company….

Link: What is Developer Advocacy?
“Developer Advocacy has many names. You may have heard it referred to as Developer Relations or Evangelism, and while these roles vary company to company, we all essentially do the same thing — We represent software developers.

Developers gorging on speed and data
I like how Alex sums up the current, overriding approach to development in passing: Speed is the differentiator in almost any market that is getting disrupted by online services.

In an earlier Forrester survey, developers said the primary benefit of the cloud is that it’s the "Fastest way for me to get my project done and deployed."
