For everyone out there that's lived in a cube farm for just one day too long, CodeWalkers has a new piece that's just for you. You know that flashy developer that always seems to get just what he wants, with the coolest stuff and the best technology on your floor? Well, this article can help you come one step closer to becoming that developer.

In Pro Developer: Creating Your Dream Project, the author talks about how that "uberdeveloper" got to where he is, playing off of the management to get exactly what he needs/wants for his job. Basically, the article moves you away from the cube-living, hard working, "gee, I hope the boss notices me soon" kind of programmer, and more towards the "hey, here's what I'm going to do, and here's how you're going to help" kind of person. I know, I know - it's a fine line that you walk to not become one of those idiots in suits, babbling on about things that you don't know a lick about - but you just have to stay grounded in the work.

This article is actually quite a good read, and does bring up some valid points that the general population of developers could benefit from. We're all part of the same breed, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to change our spots now and then....
