I've started Shedding Bikes as part of my recent trend of expanding out my blog to other sites. Just like "oppugn.us for rants" and the other sites I'm doing with focused topics, this site will be non-rants about programming culture and philosophy. The range of topics will be observations about programmers, the things they create, and how that relates to their thinking and behavior.
The rules here are to not have any cursing, and to keep it clean. This of course doesn't mean it'll all be puppy dogs and rainbows because a huge part of programmer culture is disagreeing with the way things currently are done. But at sheddingbikes.com this disagreement will be measured and well thought out, not rants for the sake of poking fun at people and whipping the internet froth.
Just like oppugn.us you can post to sheddingbikes.com and if your post is well written then you'll be included in the roll. Your full name from your email address (the "Joe Frank" part) will be shown unless you don't set your name then your email address gets shown.
You'll also notice there are no comments on this blog. If you have something to say, write it as a post and put some effort into it.
