Sierra is a genius. I have been developing for 12+ years when I read her design patterns book for "newbies", and I learned something from every page.

In case you were not aware, Kathy Sierra has a new book!

http://www.amazon.com/Badass-Making-Awesome-Kathy-Sierra/dp/...

Not available on the Kindle?

How is that making your users awesome?

She eventually returned to blogging over at http://seriouspony.com/blog/, unfortunately she also stopped again - and serious pony has since been run of Twitter by trolls.

I shall cry very dry tears once Weev dies.
