I am quoting myself, and I am not sure if that is allowed, but I just wrote this to the Castle list:
I will take dog-fooded coded over enterprise development tools any day of the week.

I wanted to give someone a message, so I wrote this:
GueniaPig tester = (GueniaPig)you;
tester.Test(rhinoCommons);
What was I trying to say*?
Sidenote; Do you find these quotes interesting? I seem to be doing quite a bit of them lately.
* Only after I sent the mail I realized that it may be insolting to the person recieving it.

Another memorable quote from yours truely:
It [the code] manages to combine all the awkwardness of a hand generated DAL while tripping over each and every one of the traps of incautious use of OR/M.

In IM, and often when people say "but I don't want more coffee / I just had one":
Beware, you will get kicked out of the geek guild if you don't have enough levels of coffee.
About a girl:
She is an angel, actually, she is two angels. The only problem is that one of them is the angel of death.
In response to "I hope I won't bug you much":
Feel free to do so, everyone else does :-)

I'm not usually a funny guy (I think), but I had a conversation in IM this week that included this quote:
I can lend you a 5Kg hammer if you want to apply a design pattern to the computer.
Update: The Hammer Based Problem Solving Diagram. Thanks Ben.

Patrick Logan has a post web services. I've very little to do with web services so far (notice the lack of posts complaining about stuff in Indigo :-) ).
What caught my eye was this quote:
Vendors will have to differentiate themselves on something more than wizards that mask complexity.
I agree whole heartedly, and for much more than merely SOAP or Web Services.

Charles Petzold has a really good talk here about the problems that VS.Net gets you with being too smart. Best quote:
IntelliSense is considered by some to be the most important programming innovation since caffeine
I tend to agree with him, although I come to it from a different angle. From a non UI perspective, I find that people often takes the easy path that they saw on the demos, and very quickly ends up with unmaintainable mess. I'm a big believer in making the computer work for me, but I like to do it using abstractions and code, not via wizard magic.
