Having enjoyed many an extended (sometimes inebriated) chat over details ranging from whether Scrum Masters need technical skills to why open source tyrannies suck with David Dawson (dev practices guru at OpenCredo), I have great pleasure in now being able to subject others to these verbal barrages (they're a good thing, honest!) at David's new blog.
It's about time! But then again, good things come to those who wait; even those who had no idea they were waiting in the first place.
