Shipping the Prototype good enough in code and weblogs but NOT in Articles.
Today's somewhat weekly OReillyNet Python article was an ONLamp.com "Python and Apache" article.
Niftily enough, Python's quick learn & churn factors display themself well in working code built within an hour of picking up (and compiling!) the language. Ship that prototype? (<---psst..Guido--3:00!)
Disappointingly, the article seemed similarly prototypish, and should have been passed around the Pythonic editors before shipping. The article takes an anonymous comment flogging.
Moral: Writing has much more social implications than code. Code is an academic argument where writing jumps to religious & political implications. I'm thankful weblogs have set a tone for off-the-cuff writing distanced from the discussion at hand by the suburbanesque privacy hedge of libertarian personal space norms.
Weblogs: Shipping the Prototype in more ways than 1. :-)
Thought of the Day: Perhaps a ship-the-prototype perspective will (has) given folks a more relaxed approached to blogging tool and specification disappointments [just as it has the writing].
