Makers vs Managers - Paul Graham nails it

Paul Graham's latest post about the differences in schedules for makers and managers is a must read for anyone managing software developers, and possibly more important if you're married to one. It struck a chord with me since I was having a highly productive week at work with no scheduled meetings until yesterday afternoon.


As a developer that worked in management for a few years, its difficult to remember the importance of this concept once you've made the transition. It begins to seem like anyone can afford an hour here or there for a meeting.

Turbogears and mod_wsgi setup

This doesn't make for the most entertaining reading, but I've decided to use this blog as my long-term memory for reference material. Currently, I'm getting started on my first python Turbogears 2.0 application, and I need to setup apache with mod_wsgi. These are the references I've accumulated. A good follow-up article would discuss issues I ran into. We'll see how motivated I am. Perplexed labs instructions for setup to support django (Wow, this step was much harder than it should have been. I have a better understanding of our apache infrastructure now though.)

Cosmic Chickpea & Beef Fiesta Skillet

This is just a little recipe that Grok (x.com) whipped up for me. I asked Grok for a Tex-Mex inspired recipe with ground beef and aligned with a Mediterranean diet.
