I'm a big Chuck fan, but I get the feeling that he isn't on a short deadline to build some standard business app like 90% of coders where you almost have a template...sure it has lots of code you don't need and to paraphrase Rich Hickey, it isn't simple, but it's really easy (at least in the short run). He's doing things where he is allotted the time to really understand the problem and deliver a minimal solution. Listening to his interviews make me sad as they call up images for how programming could be if we'd gone about it differently. Small teams writing small and efficient software where you can grok the entire thing at once.
