Andy Brudtkuhl came up with an interesting idea. We need a blogosphere drama filter, he says. Too much “Scoble” and “Rocketboom.”
Oh, but we LOVE our dramas, don’t we? Did you hear that a new host has been picked for Rocketboom (not officially, but according to the Huffington Post)?
Oh, if you don’t want drama, why not come to the Lang.NET symposium, which is really just a compiler forum? No drama there. Your code either runs or it doesn’t. Lehman tells me that Miguel de Icaza of Mono will be there, along with speakers from Sun Microsystems and other smart coders. That’s July 31-August 2 at Microsoft in Redmond.
Or, why don’t you check out some code blogs like Albert Pascual’s. The problem with code blogs is it’s hard to find a single post that focused on a single problem. Let’s say you come up with a cool sorting algorithm. How will other people know you did?
What’s your favorite code blog? Or drama blog? Heheh.
