he! funny to think that in a world where there is no money, the currency we
deal with is respect.
Do I "disrepect theory" as you claim Rickard? hell no! I am theorist by
training. Went all the way up to "string theory" in the early nineties as a
mathematician and theoretical physicist. and remember not understanding one
bit of the class.
Do I "disrepect computer science"? hell no! when I was at MIT doing more and
more physics (but it was simpler there, applied stuff) all I knew was that I
wanted to be with the computer science guys because very obviously there was
energy there.
So how do I think now? well pretty much the same, that computer science is
probably the most exciting field I could be in. That extreme programming
and coding and designing are the best thing since sliced bread.
Most of all, I am really proud of the community I have built. I am really
proud of the collective talent of the lists. To me the complexity of
software systems and our way to tackle it with Open Source is the most
interesting things.
So right now, we are at an interesting point in JBoss' life. As covered on
the serverside review of JBoss, either JBoss is complacent and we forget
what we really came to do or we "up the ante" on ourselves and really go
fight with the big boys.
There might be more developers at BEA, as the article claims, but we work in
a smart way, we parallelize the problems. As we all know here, it is not by
throwing "resources" at a J2EE container that you can make it work. It is
by throwing "smart resources" at it :)
So I believe this list is the most powerful congregation of brains looking
at J2EE (with perhaps the exception of ejb-interest). I will repeat that I
believe that almost all the "leading experts" in the field have at one point
or another talked and coded on our base.
So now, let's focus back on the ball, let's push that ball... let's do
JBoss3.0 clustering, failover, full EJB2.0 support and all. War is fun.
