Web Principles
Words close to my heart from lesscode.org's Motherhood and Apple Pie
The good news in all this is that there is a resurgence of interest in the web's basic principles that is somewhat oriented toward the business community. I believe this renewal of interest to be the result of increased communication through weblogs and other web-friendly collaboration tools combined with massive adoption of free and open source development methods. The bad news is that a huge portion of the software industry isn't involved and are in many ways blocking progress using techniques that are hard to describe as anything other than dishonest.
