What do you get when you take a touch of Joel and a bit of Dave and shake vigorously? A damn fine summary of two great explanations of the difference between rookie and expert developers.
One of my favorite sessions at No Fluff Just Stuff is Dave Thomas's "Herding Racehorses and Racing Sheep" presentation. I want to have every manager that I work with see this presentation because it has had such an impact on my life. I communicate better with those above and below me on the Dreyfus model simply because I listened in this session. I actually have a better relationship with my clients because of this session.
Anyway, Jeff gives a very nice overview of what the session is all about and actually ties it to an old Joel article along the same lines. If you ever have a chance to go to No Fluff Just Stuff, do everything you can to see Dave's "Herding Racehorses and Racing Sheep" presentation.
