Hubris, Episode 1
Saturday, October 5, 2002

I am so excited about a few things right now, I could barely sleep last night.

I got Cactus and Struts setup via CactusStrutsTestCase at work on EAServer and on my PowerBook on Tomcat. What an incredibly powerful combination for Java web development. On Monday I am giving an overview of Struts and Cactus to the development team for my project. I am also going to introduce them to Test-Driven Development and Pair Programming.

The prospect of writing a paper with Roman has captured my imagination, and hubris. Our brief collaboration on the wiki has been productive and I'm wondering if we should add another meeting per week. [ Warning: excessive hubris ahead ] I see this paper as just the beginning, and definitely not the topic I will focus on in the long run. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling to already have a niche to focus on: The Psychology of Agile Software Development.
