A CSS Zen Garden for microformats is essential for popular adoption. Getting something that "looks cool" for "free" should be a key attraction for convincing authors to "steal" microformatted data and cut'n'paste it into their own sites, and for that matter, to reuse style sheets for microformatted data as well.

Business people want estimates. They want to know how much it’s going to cost them to get a solution, and they want to know how likely it is to come in on time and on budget. And of course quality is not negotiable. Agile teams I encounter are at best nervous about estimates and at worst simply evasive. “You don’t need estimates if you’re doing Agile,” they say. “It will be ready when it’s done. We’re constantly adding value so we don’t need to commit to a date.”

Hit the big 3-0 today, taking care of my first thirtish hangover with some red wine with the family
Integrity is the angel watching over your shoulder while you code. As soon as you push your commits, it builds, runs your tests, and makes sure everything works fine. It then reports the build status using various notifiers back to your team so everyone’s on the same page, and if there’s a problem, you can get it fixed right away.
