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.

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
