"If you think you have mastered it, you have already begun your descent."

-- Garr Reynolds on his Presentation Zen blog,
writing about the lessons he learnt from the art of jazz.

This is so true on everything that happens around us. I've always seen people talking so confidently about things and have been very weary about it. When someone talks about something I expect passion. Overconfidence often hides the opposite. People that keep humbleness at their core [...]

QUOTE: Make time for it. Delivering an untested application is compromising

"Make time for it. Delivering an untested application is compromising – it’s delivering uncertainty, fragility, and a ticking time bomb of unmaintainability. If your boss/client/devil-on-your-shoulder doesn’t think that time should be taken to write tests during initial development, help them understand that it’s really a time saver in the long run.

This blog is all about making a difference in all aspects of life. For those of you that don't know, Romanians had their election day on Nov 30. There have been lots of people stating their DOs and DONTs about that day. However, even though our election law has some bad parts that are pretty stupid I chose to go and express my vote (I can explain the peculiarities if needed). I just found out a few minutes ago that the ex-prime-minister was 3 votes away from NOT getting into the new Parliament. [...]

QUOTE: When you're charging by the hour

"When you’re charging by the hour, it’s much harder to grow your bottom line without growing your head count. By selling a product, especially a self-service product over the Web, you can double your business without having to work harder or hire more people. That’s a fairly significant pro, in my opinion."
