Peter Seibel has started blogging...
Peter Seibel, author of Practical Common Lisp, has started blogging [atom feed]. The first post was on April 10th, but already there a few thought provoking posts up there. In particular, Software estimation considered harmful?, really made me think. In summary, the article states that software development estimates are a mechanism for communicating with others about a project to enable them to co-ordinate with the development team. Using estimates for this form of communication is not optimal in many cases and the article explains why. It is well worth reading.
