Sadly, I learned that [NewsGator](http://www.newsgator.com/) now costs money :) On one hand, this is a good thing for the creator, and it's agood product( my favorite aggregator), on the other hand i can't see myself paying 30 bucks for an aggregator when i can get one that is almost as good for free. So i tried, and am currently writing this post from within Syndirella. and what can i say. it **rocks**! Scott is doing a great job keeping both this site and Synderella great products. I do see great thing and a great community building up here, and i love it. It's my own little Conference on my computer. Iget to listen and respond to people i respect and appreciate (mainly listen though..) and learn a lot just by browsing. Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth. --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
