(This post is from my old, old, super old site. My views have changed over the years, hopefully my writing has improved, and there is now more than a handful of folks reading my site. Enjoy.)
From "Collective Ownership of Code and Text", with Ward Cunningham-
'It's really more the approach of asking, "What do you want to be good at?" If you want to be good at it, find a way that you get to practice every day. If you practice every day there's no way you can help but be good. So, pick what you want to be good at. Well, you ought to be good at what you're afraid of. Then you'll stop being afraid of it.'
Ward Cunningham is the guy who invented wikis, and from which VoodooPad evolved from. He's way too good at finding simple solutions that work all too effectively.
