Professionalism

Friday, May 15, 2009 7:35:48 PM (Cen. Australia Standard Time, UTC+09:30) ( )

RailsConf 09 - Robert Martin - What killed smalltalk could kill ruby, too

If you take anything at all away from this talk its Robert Martin’s answer to the last question, which boiled down to this: “Professionalism is honour, honesty with yourself and disciplined in your approach and not succumbing to fear and throwing away all your techniques in the face of a deadline.”

The last attribute reminds me of another quote “Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.” - Yoda

This struck a chord with me, Am I being professional?
