My name is Dru Sellers, I am a software developer who wants more from the language writers, the framework builders and application makers of the world. What does this mean? It means that I am not going to accept the status quo, I will fight the fight. I have been told that I am not happy with anything in world of code. This is true, as I said, I expect better. It doesn't have to be this hard.

I get up early, I go to bed late. I eat and breath software development. I seek out people better than me and I listen. I make it, I break it and I try to understand it. Throw away code is my best friend.

Again, I listen to my peers, through them I have been able to gain huge amounts of knowledge in a very short period of time. I argue with them, and philosophize with them. I fight for my beliefs and I change my mind. I am better because of this.

I get frustrated when the business of development says I can't code something the 'right' way and I have to ask, how much of 'this' can I have, and when I have that, I steal more, always.

I also like to take pictures.

"The key is to just get on the bike, and the key to getting on the bike...is to stop thinking about “there are a bunch of reasons i might fall off” and just hop on and peddle the damned thing. You can pick up a map, a tire pump, and better footwear along the way."

The Agile Manifesto

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

  • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
  • Working software over comprehensive documentation
  • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
  • Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
