Christopher Bennage's Favorite Development Tools

I am a "My Favorite Tools" junky. I love reading about tools that other developers use to make their lives easier. These kinds of lists usually provide some great insights.

Christopher Bennage put his own list together and posted it on devlicio.us.

Community Server 2.0 to 2.1 Bug Fixes

I am debating on upgrading the production version of a site from CS 2.0 to 2.1. It would be helpful to know which bugs in 2.0 were fixed in 2.1, but I have been unable to find a bug fix list. Someone in the Community Server forums pointed me in the right direction.

Known Issues and Work-arounds in Community Server 2.0

According to the page, "All of the issues below will be fixed in Community Server 2.1 unless otherwise indicated."

I wish I had known about this page sooner, it would have saved some headaches. Live, learn, then get Luvs.

Google's Agile

Steve Yegge has posted an interesting article on his take on the good and the bad of the "Agile" methodology. The article also offers a glimpse on how Google motivates their programmers to get projects done.

Compare Google's methods of motivation to the methods used by the company I work for. Google provides free meals. My company is bringing in a couple of massage therapists to provide 10 minute sessions to each employee on a Friday afternoon. Me? I would rather have the food.
