Comments on: Lars Ulrich as the perfect model of a developer http://blog.coryfoy.com/2006/09/lars-ulrich-as-the-perfect-model-of-a-developer/ It's all about delivering Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:42:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Cory Foy http://blog.coryfoy.com/2006/09/lars-ulrich-as-the-perfect-model-of-a-developer/comment-page-1/#comment-261 Cory Foy Sun, 10 Sep 2006 17:40:00 +0000 http://blog.cornetdesign.com/?p=214#comment-261 Exactly my point. They are /incredible/ drummers, but listen to a Rush song, and Neil is way over the top. Compare that to a Metallica song, and generally Lars is just kicking back, playing simple boom-chick-boom-chick. <br /><br />And let's not forget Akira Jimbo whose video I literally stood in a drum store and couldn't take my eye off of for 10 ro 15 minutes. <br /><br />It's a good point though. There are some very talented developers out there who can whip out reflection to skip past your security roadblocks, extracting your private methods on the fly into services other dynamic objects can use, in Perl, in less than 5 lines of code. But, finding someone who is half of that, but understands the business side of things, and social aspects? That's some good stuff. Exactly my point.

Much better drummer! Or Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater ... makes Lars look like an amateur when it comes to playing "over the top" metal drums!!! But, then again Lars makes a much better analogy.
