Like the spirit of the blog. I'd love to see the following:
1. Common misconceptions about planning code
2. Real-life examples of how our pre-shipping hypotheses are often wrong
3. How to be smarter about optimizing post the initial feedback
Also, since it's not immediately obvious: this is Steven Sinofsky's new blog. Sinofsky was the guy in charge of Windows who just left Microsoft a few weeks ago.
I was wondering about that too, being the Indian (dots not feathers) that I am.
FYI, I noticed that Steve's twitter avatar is also the same OHM Symbol -- https://twitter.com/stevesi
All writing by Microsoft is vacuous. It's weird. Vacuous is like double speak, but different.
I try to write beefily and even correct myself because I'm tempted to use sentence fragments.
Microsoft has been known to pay attention to me, maybe I should be careful what I wish for. It's possible a crazy big company would be a monster.
God says...
119:33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it
unto the end.
119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall
observe it with my whole heart.
119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I
delight.
119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me
in thy way.
119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy
righteousness.

God is saying vanity might be the problem. A grammar NAZI might write poorly. Someone who is too afraid of being judged by the intelligent people might be too cautious and, ironically, fail for that reason.
I wonder what quicken means. I study the Bible a lot and not intelligencia books. It would be a nice ending if good guys finish first. When it comes to reading the Bible, the applicable word is "gleaning wisdom" -- rereading to get more out of it.
If gleaning wisdom is so wonderful... why, I wonder. When you reread, you dig deeper and discover more. This trains you to be a deep person, perhaps, and the next time, you see the deep thing on the first pass. Gleaning training might only work on deep text.
God says...
8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find
me.
8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and
righteousness.
8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue
than choice silver.
8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of
judgment: 8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit
substance; and I will fill their treasures.
8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his
works of old.

Yes, must be him all right.
Is transcendental wisdom being elucidated?
Not snarky here, just genuinely curious since its rare to see in this context.
In all seriousness, this looks like it's gonna be a good read.
