About

What can you expect to find here? Talk about:

  • xampl (the Ruby version, xamplr)
  • software development practice with a particular preoccupation with making things easier (i.e. fun)
  • programming languages, and how they are used
  • Ruby, Clojure, Common Lisp
  • politics, from a Canadian’s perspective… a Canadian with a distinct tilt to the left (I walk in tight counter-clockwise circles)

This is a personal weblog expressing a personal point of view.

My name is Bob Hutchison. I’ve been a software developer since 1978—I’m counting from my first paying job in the industry.

I’ve seen a lot of stuff in this business. I’ve got an opinion about a lot of it. You’ll be exposed to it here.
