ADT Interview: Tool of the Future

(Thu Feb 24, 2005) [/CodeCraft#

Just for fun, here's the fifth and final question that Mike Gunderloy of Application Development Trends asked me for his Five Questions column:

Q: What one tool do you wish you had that no one has written yet?

A: Well, I'm still waiting for the Do-What-I-Mean-Not-What-I-Type Telepathic Interface™. :-)

Seriously, I can't think of any one tool that I wish I had. That will probably change tomorrow when I can't find just the right tool for some job. But I've accumulated enough simple, generic tools over the years to scratch most itches, either by using a combination of existing tools or adapting one tool slightly. And I'm a programmer, so I love to craft new tools to solve problems.
