“Much of what I was going to say has already been said.”

I’ve been presenting talks like these for ten years.
I did tomcat. How many people have used that? (almost everyone raises their hand)
When I wrote ant on an airplane, I didn’t really think it would be around for this long. It just goes to show that things need to be designed well up-front, because they just might end up hanging around even if they aren’t.
EJB’s came from vendors selling software that seemed like it should work. Rails was extracted from a hot application that already worked.

You can do cool things like posting to an rss feed for each of your deployments.
You should control the whole environment to which you are deploying.
