My sister and I used to fight constantly growing up. Maybe it was personality differences or maybe sibling jealousy, but whatever it was it certainly wasn't me being annoying. Sometimes it would get so bad that my mother would break out the unorthodox parenting tactics. When she had finally had enough and standard practices failed to quell the argument, she would send us both to one of our rooms and say, "Don't come out until someone is bleeding." Then she would shut the door and walk away.

Sometime last year I came across Dave Thomas's Code Kata page and I thought, what a great way to learn a new language, or even just shake the rust off. Eventually I learned that some teams practice code kata's together. This is known as a code dojo. Since I enjoy team building possibly more than I like software building, dojo's make kata that much more intriguing.
