Vadim Gaidukevich wrote a great Agile PM system TargetProcess which we use (off-and-on) to track our .NET project work. (To be truthful, lately we’ve reverted to a paper notecard system as our team shrunk.)
So Vadim posts to his blog today a lamentation on how high the bar is to develop software compared to the “good old days.”
I agree with him 100%, and it’s one of the reasons I’m a fan of Ruby on Rails. It’s a world apart from C# in .NET, and it’s rough to get proficient in (for all the reasons Vadim mentions, so many areas learn) but it is very elegant, and just about everything you do is in Ruby.
Now if only I could find the time to make the leap from Rails rookie!
