Time to shut up and code

If you like REST, you have definitely heard about Pete Lacey. He is a big protagonist of this architecture style and it is always a pleasure to read his blog. His last post is somehow special, because he is leaving Burton Group, where he worked for couple of years as a consultant, now joining Collaborative Software Initiative (CSI) as an open source developer. I recommend you to read his reasons, but a short explanation is:

It’s time to shut up and code.

IMHO, this shows his soul of a core developer, his enthusiasm to create something what you can "touch", what works and what can be used also by others (CSI has a specific business model by using and producing purely open source software). Last but not least, he believes sharing practical knowledge and experiences (via Web) is much more effective than writing a research paper targeted to just a limited number of your customers.

I would go so far as to say that Sam Ruby’s blog, for instance, has done more to change the world than the millions of pages minted by R&A firms that only a select few get to read.

I wish Pete a lot of luck and satisfaction in his new job!
