Join PMI - get a cert

Seriously, the Project Management Institute is a professional organization of - you guessed it - project managers - all kinds of them.

Certs aren't too hard to get for an seasoned employee (one with scars). Believe it or not, I often see Software Proj Mgt postings requesting PMI certification.

Disclaimer - I don't have a PMI cert but am toying with the idea of getting one. Also, I'm writing an article for the Denver chapter newletter on common fanatasies in software project management. This came about when I found myself sitting next to the Denver chapter president at a VC Fund Fest and I gave him an earfull of stupid things project managers do in software. He asked me to write it up for publication.

Smalltalk is dangerous. It is a drug. My advice to you would be don't try it; it could ruin your life. Once you take the time to learn it (to REALLY learn it) you will see that there is nothing out there (yet) to touch it. Of course, like all drugs, how dangerous it is depends on your character. It may be that once you've got to this stage you'll find it difficult (if not impossible) to "go back" to other languages and, if you are forced to, you might become an embittered character constantly muttering ascerbic comments under your breath. Who knows, you may even have to quit the software industry altogether because nothing else lives up to your new expectations.
