I just got a new book the other day called, "the Pragmatic Programmer" and I'm looking forward to diving into it when I get my article submitted. The fundamental idea behind the book, from what I can tell, is how to make yourself a practical developer of software - yes, that's right: a pragmatic programmer (go figure, eh!?). I believe many developers I encounter are not pragmatic (or pragmatic enough). Why? I believe it's about ego - though I'm not sure. I haven't read a damn bit of the book yet (and may I say *damn* again, because quite frankly I wish I would have more time to do so), but I will be posting thoughts as I read through it.

It's a beautiful night. I think I'm going to take a walk and hit the sack...the voices in my head are speaking in XPath expressions.
