Great essays at developer.* and DevSource

Just read three insightful and wonderful essays at developer.*

• Are You a Typecast Developer?
• Personal Chemistry and the Healthy Body
• Ten Reasons You're a Software Developer

'Personal Chemistry and the Healthy Body' is a great general article - must read for everyone. And by the way developer.* is Jolt Awards 2005 Productivity Winner in 'Websites and Developer Networks' category.

Later, browsing from Slashdot.org encountered a huge/long article 'The State of Scripting Universe'

In this artcle experts of Dynamic Languages - Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl - answer questions relating to state of scripting Languages, their future, advantages, disadvantages, and adoption by businesses.

It also has a very long section 'Five Things You Didn't Know You Could Do With Python, PHP, Tcl, Perl, Ruby'

Update:

The above-mentioned wonderful and enlightening essay Personal Chemistry and the Healthy Body is by Gerald M. Weinberg. Coincidentally, I encountered another article about him on Devx.com Adjust or Go Extinct: 50 Years of Conventional Wisdom and Eye-raising anecdotes from Programming veterans
