Some posts I liked to read this week

The Amazon Architecture - It's an old post, but I had the URL saved for later reading, and I happened to read it this week only. :-) A nice description about Amazon supposed architecture. No written by someone with inside information, but gathered from several public sources. Interesting nonetheless.

Returning the favour for on-site customers - Improving software design by interacting with the *real* users. Something very obvious, and something that everyone say they do it. (with emphasis on say).

Speaking of, "lying through their teeth..." - Another take on the REST vs WS-*. Always a read that allows you to vent some steam. I found this petty bickering pretty relaxing.  :-) (don't misunderstand me, this is a serious  topic, but....)

Crystal Methodology - A list of some of the less well know development methodologies. :-) I guess I should say, a list of most used development methodology but never identified and formalized as such.  The cliff is pretty common, perhaps it should be called Lemmings methology. :-)
