Getting RealWhile I am on PTO (as I am right now), my mind rarely strays far from Harper. Harper has the po­ten­tial to be great, and I am partly re­spon­si­ble for get­ting it there. That’s all a com­plex way to ex­plain why I am read­ing Getting Real by DHH and Jason Fried while on PTO. In a sim­i­lar vein, Getting Real is a set of ideas which, taken to­gether, form a set of ideals which must be em­bod­ied to build great web ap­pli­ca­tions. Their needs change over time, so we must change with them.
