Why is Disco king? Yes, it is better music, but the real reason is that disco dancing brings in the women <em>quicker</em>. It's that simple. And all the supermodel babes from the age of Disco are still smokin'. BK- totally, man. Why is Disco king?

A product released out the door can book revenues. Management ultimately look at revenues, not tech support backlogs. 2. You can preempt your competitors by claiming "first-to-the market" sales pitch. 3. Softwares in the 21st century have shorter "in-vague" life. So rake in revenues while you can. (Most supermodels in their prime knows about this fact, don't they?). I would agreed speed is the thing because:

I have been programming Ruby 10 years ago - when all documentation was japanese :-) I even wrote a component web framework with convention over configuration back than, because I was amazed by the Ruby meta programming qualities. So much power at your fingertips. So much better than JSPs or Python CGI. 10 years later I mostly develop Java apps. With some Grails sprinkled in (like in Reposita). I wonder what I do in 10 years from now (at least in my spare time, as I do no longer develop for money). My current guess is something much more stringent with more powerfull - but explicit - type checking for the backend and something dynamic for the front. With the explosion of the internet and software development in the 90s the ugly maintenance-legacy-medusa will rise it's many heads. And already is rising in some Rails projects ;-) Peace -stephan -- Stephan Schmidt :: stephan@reposita.org Reposita Open Source - Monitor your software development http://www.reposita.org Blog at http://stephan.reposita.org - No signal.
