Coté's 43Things, Coder Hipsters

I thought I’d start-up 43things.com account to see what the deal is. It’s pretty fun to type up your goals — both that you’ve done and haven’t yet done. You should set one up too for fun. And, of course, there’s RSS feeds for everything. Yuh!

I’ve really gotten to like the company’s/group’s weblog: they’re from the same genre of developer that you can lump the flickr, del.icio.us, blogger, etc. coders in, a sort of hip next generation LAMP coder, all with snazy PowerBooks.

It’d be interesting to think and write a post about this new genre of coders. All I can think of at the moment is that they all write consumer/end-user software, allowing them to focus exclusively on making their users lover their software instead of meet Enterprise requirements. I’d bet a dollar that the next handful of wildly successful Enterprise applications will have teams that figure out how to infuse that spirit into their orginization. That’s a good goal itself.

  1. The 43 things is interesting, even though I’m not sure why. I saw this on Random’s site last week, but the site was crashing.

    They must have some kind of batch indexing, because you didn’t show up in the Austin list at the time of this comment.
