Raymond Lewallen has a very nice post about the role of a software developer as a problem solver.
[…]One thing I have learned from BDD is that developers spend too much time thinking about technical implementation details rather than the problem at hand itself. I am continuously working with my current team to get […]

He also gave some advice on writing Domain-Specific code in Ruby.
The only thing that I can’t agree at all is that he makes […]
