Mocarski on Technical Strategy: May 2007
http://mocarski.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2007. To Agile or not to Agile? Prejudices are what fools use for reason." - Voltaire. I've never much liked Voltaire's philosophy, but he has a knack for quotes.

Sunday, December 27, 2009. 3 Tips to grow leaders (or improve most anything). I like to take Christmas week off every year. I do this mostly to spend some quality time with my family, but one of my favorite fringe benefits is that I typically get just enough down time to think about the things I've done that I'm proud of, how to do more of them and what I'd like to accomplish in the coming year. This year was no exception. Tip 1: Find out if they want to be a leader. Learn two new technolgies. Which are ...
