Heh Heh, well - this is an article just highlighting some of experience in last couple of months. I am sometime too much annoyed because of the the attitude of some people, sometime I feel that they are annoyed on me. And I think I should write them down. Signs indicate that you are ruining your career
1. You’ve started implementing (or started believing in) popular (?) asshole driven development in your company (or in your team)
2. You are one of the biggest jerk who’s thinking that you are no more suitable for a “developer” position and you always want to be the PM or tech lead. LOL
3. You cannot find any topic to study this evening
4. You are so busy in development that your last blog post was about 2 or 3 months ago
5. You haven’t contributed in any single open source project yet, WTF!!
6. You are spending time to write a 7 page resume
7. You are not using any RSS aggregator (LOL)
8. You’ve never heard of any framework, nor using any
9. You’re neither member nor active in any online tech forum
10. WAMP is still the development platform for your LAMP app.

These all are very important issues that we see most of the time. i think #1 and #2 as a most serious issues. and you see people waste their time to make their resume long and beautiful but they forget to study in the evening. these are nice reasons you mentioned. hope it helps us all…thanks.

Actually I meant Using Windows (Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP) to develop php apps which will mainly run on LAMP

Asshole Driven development (ADD) - Any team where the biggest jerk makes all the big decisions is asshole driven development.
ha ha ha ha…..

Even worse than a WAMP stack is the WIMP stack (Windows, IIS, MySQL or MS SQL, PHP), or some developers even doing the W stack: Windows, then upload the stuff to their LAMP system.
afruj // May 10, 2008 at 9:20 am
Hmm!! I see.
hasin // May 11, 2008 at 1:46 pm
@IllegalCharacter - yup, you are right!

Nice Article.
I agree with Hasin vai.
This article reminds us our duty, responsibility and contribution to the open source development process that we cannot avoid by any excuse. Let us remember how many times we searched google.com and used others’ codes and projects.
And thinking oneself a big head is one of the biggest bars in his/her growth.
The nice article reminds us all the things.
Thanks for the good article.
