Lot’s of interesting stuff this week, man:

• CruiseControl 2.7 Released- Speaking of hip tools, looks like the CC team has been busy.
• Vidcast: Build Software with Every Change- Paul “Hollywood” Duvall shares the cornerstone of CI.
• Java Exception Handling Anti-Patterns- Mr Kelly found a jewel here, man.
• Are “else” blocks the root of all evil?- And I thought it was avarice.
• Ant – Metatargets and a build script Antipattern- To depend or not to depend, that is the question, man.
• The Mythical Man-Month – still relevant 30 years on- Rich got that one right on! Maybe, just maybe, with future technological improvements, 9 women can give birth to a baby in 1 month.
