Do the right thing. Assuming you know what that is.

I have kind of a love/hate thing going for Roy Osherove's blog . The "hate" part comes because he always challenges my perspective when I least expect it. Some of his posts seem like they are baiting people and it is easy to discount them as biased based on his position with TypeMock ....
