The Dog-Eat-Dog World of Blogging
So, as it turns out, my post about programmer classification wasn’t as nearly well received as my other posts. Even though it was front-paged on DZone, it received more negative votes than positive votes. And most comments about it were talking about how incomplete it was. One guy even went out of his way to make a blog post about how un-funny it actually was! Though, in my opinion, his attempt to redo failed even worse than the original. My post was at least trying to be light-hearted and funny; his post was way too harsh. Combined with an extremely basic grasp of English, the humor of the post was completely lost on me:
“It’s hard to soar with eagles when you work with turkeys, but it’s also difficult to soar gracefully at all when you’re chained by the neck to a Lear jet doing mach 4.”
What?
Anyhow, it turns out that if people are actually going to read this stuff, I’m going to have to limit my time investing in trampoline stocks and really put 110% of my efforts into writing these posts. Even though I’ve made a KILLING after they released the new 5′ x 10′ “Super Tramps”, I’m just going to have to become totally quality driven. I want to ramp up the interactivity of these posts, become more scalable, flexible, and client-centered. I think if maybe I were a little more adaptive, I could reach all the low-hanging fruit and really get on the bleeding edge of blog awesomeness.
In case you haven’t seen it Buzzword Bingo rocks — a lot (especially if you’re going to a meeting today).
