Tim Bray's Words Of Wisdom

Tim Bray from Sun gave one of the best talks of FOWA, offering several words of wisdom:

  • Don't be an 'X' developer. People that will only develop for a certain language or platform restrict their hire-ability. This is especially true during the tough times ahead, developers must stay flexible.
  • Network, Network, Network. The truly great jobs are always filled by friends of friends.
  • The next worst thing to a company Googling you and discovering you are a pedophile, is finding nothing online. Why would a leading edge company hire a dinosaur who does not have an understanding of web 2.0?
