DHH. I hate you. Wait I love you. Er I love to hate you? I don’t know which one it is. I guess it depends on the day or the topic. Lately I find our common ground growing. The other morning I was catching up on old podcasts (yes I’m horribly behind). I ran into David Heinemeier Hansson’s Legacy Code talk from Rails Conf Europe 2008. It was excellent. So much so, I’m recommending you take the time to listen to it. If you are a programmer (Ruby or otherwise), take the hour and listen to this. It will give you new perspective. My favorite line “Legacy is just you over time”..

“Legacy is just you over time”..
Every so often as I’m making a change to a system that deviates it from the standard I think to myself:
“Building tomorrows legacy system, today.”
