		<description><![CDATA[When I first started playing with computers, stacks were something different to heaps. Later I came to know them as a type of list. Now when someone talks about stacks, they are usually talking about a target development platform. Of course you could change MySQL for PostgreSQL, Zend for Kohana, CodeIgnitor or Cake, JQuery for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Re-inventing the wheel This is a glib phrase that describes needless busy work doing something that&#8217;s already been done. At one time it was exclusively the language of programmers flaming one another in forums. Even then it was usually a term of abuse. Since then it’s been hi-jacked by many closely related groups. Like many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have 20 developers working for you, then you have a significant resource. A few years ago now, I was on one course or another, that had a management component. Part of it was an exercise – everyone was given the same 20 questions to answer. The questions aren’t important, neither are individual’s scores. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent interview, I was discussing the merits of various approaches to web development. Its a well worn argument – technical excellence versus commercial reality. The fastest way to build any site is to hack together a few components, adding a bit of polish to the front end to make it look good. Cost [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bramble and Bug are another company started by an ex-employee of DriveBusiness. They have a proprietary platform written in classic ASP. I took my own equipment to the office to use. I hadn&#8217;t touched ASP since I discovered PHP (so about 6 years), but my boss assured me I&#8217;d be fine with it.
