- What are your main interests in software development?
- I have spent most of my time in rapid application development, I am now interested in databases, data exchange and Model Driven Architecture.
Tracking data so we get better outcomes for foster children, so a judge can see the likely outcomes for a given course of action.
Open source and commerce. Before the increase in wealth created by trading was marginal. I swap a banana for your dollar. I value the dollar more than the banana I gave you, you value the banana more than the dollar you gave me.
With open source code you keep your dollar and get the banana for free. From almost zero sum trade becomes additive. My banana and your apple means we both get an apple and a banana.
I hope open source code stops the great amount of custom interfacing of data that happens in large companies or institution.
I think we can improve the world and lives.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!
