Scratching that programming itch

Joe Barr writes “Why do I blame Petreley and Hentzen for this? Simple. They got me thinking about Linux development. Petreley’s analysis of Linux developers started it. And because I haven’t coded any real Linux apps (unless I count that toy I created with Kylix), I began to feel a small twitch where the itch used to be. When Whil Hentzen told me a couple of weeks ago that developing applications for Linux is the sweet spot for software development these days, it pushed me over the edge. The itch is back. I have to scratch it.”
