The Ayende retort
When you hear from software people (e.g. from yourself) things like “I don’t have time” or “it’s too much work”, there is a single-word slapdown response.
2.07 posts a day on average over the last three years, mostly high-value software stuff. At the same time, he spews out useful, robust software. That’s all on top of his day job. And apparently he reads a lot.
Personally I suspect Ayende is a five-person software company masquerading as a single person. Even then he is not doing too badly.
The obvious question: how does he do this?
The useful question: why aren’t you doing it?
(Ouch.)
