I enjoy doing pedestrian stuff; really, really well.

Most of my work is open-source, as I don't really do anything particularly innovative or patent-worthy.

Most of the value in my work is how I do it.

I work carefully, document the living bejeezus out of my work, test like crazy, and spend a lot of time "polishing the fenders."

This is something that anyone can do. It just takes patience, discipline, and care.

I'm weird. I enjoy the end results enough to take the time to do the job well.

It's been my experience that the way I work is deeply unpopular. Some people actually seem to get offended, when I discuss how I work.

Go figure.
