Smart ideas

2005-05-29 Filed in: various
An insightful story by Scott Berkun about smart, yet not necessarily right. I'd summarize it as: creative ideas need reality checks more than anything else. Or perhaps even more concisely: clever and wise are not the same thing. Reading this, I just can't stop thinking about (design and choice of) programming languages, software practices, database approaches, and development tools.

Let's move away from the clever stuff. Let's focus on wisdom.
