Here I'll tell stories of my life as a programmer. 25 years developing software, from pascal to c++, smalltalk to self to NewtonScript, python and ruby and javascript. Mostly self-taught. Often in groups of developers learning and comparing methods.

Worth saying quickly, years of software development, and the development and management of teams, have made me non-dogmatic pragmatist toward getting software built. Usually that leads me to eXtreme Programming principles and ideas captured in the Agile Manifesto and Software Craftsmanship. I think of organizations in terms of their fluency in agile thinking.
