      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://lemonodor.com/archives/000871.html"&gt;Great Hackers&lt;/a&gt;. 
  &lt;p&gt;
Paul Graham has posted &lt;a href="http://paulgraham.com/gh.html"&gt;Great Hackers&lt;/a&gt;, an essay based on his keynote at &lt;a href="http://www.oreillynet.com/oscon2004/"&gt;OSCON&lt;/a&gt;.
  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For example, if your company wants to write some software, it might
seem a prudent choice to write it in Java. But when you choose a
language, you're also choosing a community. The programmers you'll be
able to hire to work on a Java project won't be as smart as the ones
you could get to work on a project written in Python. [2] And the
quality of your hackers probably matters more than the language you
choose. Though, frankly, the fact that good hackers prefer Python to
Java should tell you something about the relative merits of those
languages.
&lt;/p&gt;[...]&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;




&lt;br&gt;
As someone who quite likes Java and isn't quite so keen on Python I
guess i'm one of the less smart programmers around. Bummer.&amp;nbsp; Does
my interest in Lisp score me any points?&lt;br&gt;

      <title>Checkpoint Charlie</title>
      <pubDate>Wed, 17 Aug 2005 16:42:04 +0100</pubDate>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.magpiebrain.com/"&gt;Sam Newman&lt;/a&gt; is organizing a &lt;a href="http://www.magpiebrain.com/archives/2005/08/17/meetup"&gt;Rails &amp; Django meet-up&lt;/a&gt; in Smithfields on September 5th.  The idea is for Rails and Django folks to come together over beer and share ideas and perspectives.  There'll likely be more Pythonistas so I hope they won't mind if the Rubyites bring water pistols (just kidding!)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>l.m. hacks RSS and Atom while you wait</title>
      <pubDate>Wed, 14 Sep 2005 08:19:54 +0100</pubDate>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;l.m.orchard has &lt;a href="http://www.decafbad.com/blog/2005/09/13/hacking-rss-and-atom-is-out"&gt;written a book about hacking RSS and Atom&lt;/a&gt;.  I'm doing a lot of stuff with RSS parsing at the moment (right now I'm experimenting with &lt;a href="http://tech.rufy.com/entry/83"&gt;Lucas Carlson's&lt;/a&gt; excellent &lt;a href="http://simple-rss.rubyforge.org/"&gt;SimpleRSS parser&lt;/a&gt;) so I might go pick up a copy, even if he does use Python ;-)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
