Egoless Java - Yet to be announced by SUN or IBM

'The world is my stage'

I write this blog with the obvious intention of speaking to the world.
Its been 6 years of working on java and nothing but java, like so many 1000s of people who earn their living this way.

I have been fortunate to be at the right time at the right place in the history of computing; when the Internet and java transformed computing. I have been fortunate that my age was right to plunge in.

I owe all my learning to the Internet, and of course the good folks who put it to use as a medium to reach out to developers.My work time for many days in the early years in the National Bank of Oman was literally 'dwelling in' java.sun.com and IBM developer works.

As the years went by, the hard work of the early years paid returns - as I could make sense of concepts, technology and finally business problems. The last one ensured that was immediately useful to my organisation.

As I continue to visit the Internet and make sense continually of whats happening; I observe a dangerous trend. The baser human instincts of pride, selfishness, fame are also being paraded openly without shame under the garb of professional opinion and review.

No amount of technical accomplishments or genuis in faculty allows for a compromise in basic human ethics. These are humility and considering others better than oneself. The corollary implications to this quality are tremendous and includes the ability to Listen and not just hear, the ability at accept vulnerability and the ability to argue on issues but not hate the person.

So that is the reason for this post.
