The more we try to do what we're best at and use other people for what we aren't good at (when they are good at it), and the more we outsource what nobody is really good at or what nobody wants to do to technology and other such systems ("technology" doesn't have to be electronic), the more empowered and effective we will become.
Oh and this isn't a response to Steve; more of a general statement using Steve's post as a jump pad. |
I would say that this is back to the power of patterns, most things have been done before if you learn how to abstract your situation. From that point there are successful patterns that let you get over most stumbling blocks so that you can work on the interesting stuff and not make stupid mistakes.
It helps if you have done some object oriented programming but it works in real life as well.
