Thanks! I enjoyed writing it. We'll be posting articles very regularly. Some will include helpful information about SlickEdit, and others will address broader topics, like this one.
This article is a favorite topic of mine. I remember the point in my career when I noticed that there was a substantial difference between developers. I was working at Harris Space Systems on a large project. A small group of the programmers on that project were smarter/faster/better than any that I had ever met. I decided I wanted to be like them rather than like many others who were merely good.
Since then, I've had the good fortune to work a lot of different places on my different projects. And I still see this big difference in talent. Working at SlickEdit, I'm very pleased to be working with the most talented team of programmers I've ever worked with. I see a similar set of traits in our customers, who share the same passion for coding.
