Scobleizing Programming Tweets

On this month’s issue of Fast Company, Robert Scoble’s business article was a stream, or better yet, a dribble of blabbering twitter messages. And the Scobleizer bunny gets paid for this. Since twitter does not achieve and make available all your tweets I thought I do a scoble and blog my tweets for posterity. Here I repost just some of my favorite tweets regarding software development and programming.

  • You may know Big O notation, but have you heard of Big H notation.
  • I use Big H notation to describe the level of a hack. H(n!) describes a MacGyver level hack.
  • Similar to Big O or Big H notation there is a Big F notation to measure and describe the level of FAIL.
  • Not every cloud computing initiative has a silver lining.
  • The Java version of a Hello World example Web Services using Axis 2 is just about ten lines of code, 55 jars, and 20MB war file. Fail.
  • Rails is not just opinionated software, it is fascist software.
  • Google App Engine is not opinionated enough.
  • Excusing oneself for incompetence by saying ‘my server crashed’ is a valid a reason as saying ‘my dog eat my homework.’
  • Backward compatibility is not just about code but also applies to usability. Backward compatible is about implies to user expectations.
  • Why don’t software engineers get royalties on the software applications that they write, like Writers Guild of America?
  • There cannot be a killer app without a killer community.

I frequently tweet and update my social status. If you like to follow m or befriend me, feel free to hit me up on twitter, identi.ca, Pownce, and/or FriendFeed.
