Ugh, you're probably not a good developer if you can't spell 'software'. Also, I assume 'mediocracy' is supposed to be 'mediocrity'.

The best developers I know have excellent written language skills, because they care about precision in everything.

@dadadooda mediocracy stands for government or rule by a mediocre person or group. (Dictionary.com)

You're right about 'software'. Corrected that in the post.. (not the domain) Thanks.

And.. I agree with your point as well.

@satyan - absurred should be absurd, in the article. I can't help nitpicking spelling/grammar mistakes. Sadly, they seem to be so commonplace on the internet.

Funny that someone would stress the importance of understanding "business needs" and in the same breath consider "We should write this piece in Java. I know Java pretty well." to be absolutely absurd.

@brazzy yeah.. that stands out a bit. It just means that technology is chosen without understanding what it is for. There are so many choices available nowadays.. e.g. if one needs faster development/release cycle, you choose Rails, etc..

Thats the context. Thanks.
