Snake charming via Test Driven Development:

"Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes a failing automated test case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then produces code to pass that test and finally refactors the new code to acceptable standards.".

Vaughan Allan:

"VP Software Engineering at Platform46 Pty Ltd

A prominent interest in languages and patterns, web frameworks, cluster computing and functional programming. A big fan of AppEngine and all things Google."
