I've found woodworking to be an incredible analogy (and also contrast) to software dev. The guy at http://woodgears.ca/ was formerly a software engineer, and I find it interesting how this influences he approaches woodworking.

There was a talk at Clojure/conj by Tim Ewald on just that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShEez0JkOFw

"Programming with hand tools"

Lots of conference reviews nominated it in their favourite talks too.

I want to agree. Watched this just yesterday and really, really liked it. Its a bit slow in the beginning and but it really ties to getter in the end. Better then I first thought.

Its a really important point and I often have trouble explaining this to people, now thanks to this talk I have a much clear handle on what the point is.

It can be used when arguing things like ORMs and things like that.

At the risk of "me too"ing - that was an hour really well spent. Thanks for that.

It's an amazing talk.
