On Programmers, Programming Languages, and Frameworks

Derek Sivers writes 7 reasons I switched back to PHP after 2 years on Rails, an admirably plain-spoken article, chock-full of gems about programmers, programming languages, and frameworks. He puts a lot of things into perspective.

Many of the hordes of commenters missed Derek's point by a large margin. It's edifying to search the web page for "Derek" and read his responses in the comments.

Introducing: Modular

I'm a big fan of Cairngorm, I use it extensively in my projects and have always been happy with the results. That was until I tried getting it to work with Modules. All of a sudden, Cairngorm didn't seem so hot. Not one to just let go of a tried and true architecture, I decided to come up with a solution. There's been quite a bit of talk already on this subject, and my answer is based on some of what I found. It's over in the lab, check it out: Modular.
