Relation from RailsConf Europe 2008, DHH keynote

The second day of RailsConf Europe 2008 started with David Heinemeier Hansson’s keynote on legacy software and was by far the most interesting and enlightening of the talks that I attended yesterday. DHH was mainly talking about legacy but I think the main message he was trying to get through was that a programmer should never stop learning, and I totally agree with that. I really regret I haven’t written about this before because now it will look like another DHH fanboy desperately trying to get to the me-too camp. Nonetheless, a couple of my own thoughts first and then on with the show.
