Seth Godin's latest Blog entry is titled
Tools
vs. Craftsmen. He describes
how the prices for creative tools came down substantially. His conclusion
is: "The bar's a lot higher, because access to tools is a lot easier".
We have that situation in software development since Microsoft shipped
BASIC with the first PC. You can download Java, Eclipse, #Develop, .NET
SDK or Ruby for free. We got a lot more software since then and eventually
the bar got lower (if you see and use crap all the time, you get used to
it). However he is right: The bar got a lot higher if you want to be outstanding.
