Six Laws of the New Software

LordFoom writes "Still suffering from post-dotcom stress disorder, I keep my eye out for gentle balm to sooth my ravaged psyche. The manifestos at ChangeThis are not it. The most popular manifestos range from irritating to enlightening, with none of them particularly comforting. In particular the recent Six Laws of the New Software have done my dreams of writing lucrative code no good - although it has changed my idea of what money-making code is."

  1. Quartz Rave by SoopahMan · · Score: 0, Troll

    Quartz is definitely impressive - a lot of parts of OSX are impressive - but as a Windows guy I've gotta say, getting locked into buying $3000 hardware every 2 years and being sorely limited on software options (Mac users who disagree, save it - I'm a .Net programmer, I've looked.) make Quartz much less exciting.

    If Quartz comes out for Windows, you'll see me raving like a madman. A happy madman.
