While browsing springsource s3 repo noticed Important News.
Slight panic, but Google came to the rescue again and pointed to http://shrub.appspot.com/
Much relief and rejoicing followed.

SpringSource + VMWare == Couple
VMware will acquire SpringSource for approximately $362 million in cash and equity plus the assumption of approximately $58 million of unvested stock and options.
There is nothing bad in getting paid for the work you do. It is even better to get paid a lot. Congratulations!

On innovation within comfort zones

This is brilliant!!! Perfect example of why innovation happens elsewhere!
That huge process chart on a wall is classic!
All too often technology/hi-tech companies succumb to a top heavy bureaucratic management. Everyone is comfortable, paid well, got a well lubricated 401k. Why rock the boat? Because that well lubricated job will go by a way of a dodo bird if your organization stops to innovate. There is simply no chance that any single product can continue to monopolize the market in a day of open source and web everywhere. A pimpled faced kid working from his dorm room can single handed revolutionize a way any problem is solved or approached. Examples are abound! Napster, Microsoft (in early days), Google, Apple, Linux, many many others. There can't be a lull, no time to milk a product, no time to rest. That is why rocking the boat is good and much needed practice.

Great thought
From Why Scripting Languages Matter
The great write/compile/package/deploy does not work that well for the web apps. There is a need for agile/scripting approaches even in "enterprise" (non Web2.0ish) environment. There will come a time when waiting 3 weeks for a fix and re-deploy will not work for anyone.
Would love to build an app with groovy/grails or ruby/rails on the front and Java back end. Fully asynchronous, even-based, ESB/SOA... I think I may just get a chance.
The reason why dynamic languages like Perl, Python, and PHP are so important is key to understanding the paradigm shift. Unlike applications from the previous paradigm, web applications are not released in one to three year cycles. They are updated every day, sometimes every hour. Rather than being finished paintings, they are sketches, continually being redrawn in response to new data.The quote is great. What a fantastic perspective to present when choosing a technology stack for your next project!
