We all know that software is hard - and most of us like to pretend that is isn't. Who among us hasn't discovered that a quick change to the code suddenly takes most of a week sort out? (And been embarrassed to explain this to your boss...) I'm trying to learn more about why that is, and what I can do about it. This blog is my way of keeping that information straight, and also sharing it. I hope it will also spark some conversation, so please share anything that comes to mind.

I'm also the principal consultant (and everything else) at Papaya Software Consulting. I would be happy to help you out with any of your enterprise and online software development needs.

From 68000 assembly, dataflow languages, and C/C++, to J2EE and Web 2.0, I've been trying figure out how to write better software, and write software better, since 1988. For the last eight years I've been working on enterprise web applications, as a software architect and lead engineer.
