 Father of the Wiki Talks Programming Practices
VANCOUVER, B.C. &— Ward Cunningham, the father of the wiki concept, hardly mentioned wikis at all during his keynote address at the OOPSLA 2004 conference here.

Cunningham advised OOPSLA attendees to work with colleagues and pace themselves when writing software "to avoid fatigue and self-doubt, which cripple decision making." He also advocated that programmers trade roles to maintain balance and break development projects into smaller chunks.
