don't be frugal with your code, …

…be Krugle! That one was a groaner, I know 😉

It’s a source code search engine that I’ll be keeping an eye on. Anyone who falls into the “not invented here” trap is doomed to fail in their software development endeavours. Sure, Google is great, especially if you actually know how to use it. However, specialized search engines are handy as well. There already exists a few good ones like Koders, but there are some pretty weak ones too like igrep.

Krugle promises to be akin to Koders but as a “Web 2.0” app (I’m sick of that term already). As a Web 2.0 app, it uses large fonts, bright colours and plenty of contrast like any good Web 2.0 site should (I’m rolling my eyes with large doses of sarcasm here). It also appears to promote some interactivity in a wiki sort of way, which I can see being benficial. Check out this presentation.
