I have been a programmer for 10 years, working in 'isolation' instead of participating in the 'shared personal growth' that you talk about... I'm starting to realize that being a developer is not just about programming and trying to keep up with the latest technologies, it also involves 'writing' about it. Participating and sharing knowledge brings insight! Thanks for an inspiring blog.
