Domain Specific Language about how we work.

I really liked this talk. This so reminds me of a couple of developers hanging out and having a laugh, or commiserating, about all the BS in the industry. At least when they can loosen up and resist the fear and taboo of "being negative".
It's good that someone else has had, at least some, of my experiences with corporate stupidy, greed, fear and arrogant certainty that is just so common in this industry. Not to say anything about all the Hypo-manic entrepreneurs jerking us around with their plans of world domination.
Zed's got a great domain specific language for communicating this stuff. I mean, Yak Shaving, just great. And so much of what so many of us do. Steak and Strippers, bloated garbage sold by corporate hucksters and fisted upon developers.
It's just good that I can sit on my couch here watching Zed and have a good laugh about this craziness. I really wish I'd hear more talks like this, at conferences, meetings,... I just don't understand how things are going to get better unless we put this in air.
Even so, I'm still having fun coding and getting all hyped up by the next new thing on the horizon.
thanks Zed,
