I’m either really busy these days, or there are too many good links popping up at dzone at the same time.
I usually glance at the dzone feed in my newsreader and find little to get me to click. Not that I wouldn’t find any of the topics featured on any given day interesting — it’s just mostly stuff that doesn’t apply to me at the moment. (Lots of Ruby and JAVA links.)
But recently, I noticed I’ve been clicking through a lot more and thinking to myself, "I really ought to point this out to people." And then I get distracted by something else.
So before I forget, here are some dzone links that have caught my eye as of late:
- Developers are from Mars, programmers are from Venus details the difference between a developer and a programmer. I find myself somewhere between the two.
- Is Your Blog in an Ivory Tower? (If it is, it’s doomed) recommends the use of social networks to promote weblog content. The whole MetaFilter culture behind no self-linking makes me skeptical of this approach, although I wouldn’t mind seeing some returns from the Musicwhore.org Google AdSense links.
- Why PHP Programmers are Leaving needs some serious editing, but there are some interesting observations beyond the mangled grammar. The link to Ilia actually got me to fix some of my code to prevent SQL injection.
I was clicking through a number of candidate interviewing links on dzone a few weeks back, but I’m a bit too lazy to search for them right now.
