What are you measuring?

There is a common saying amongst management types - If you can't measure it, you can't manage it.

I would contend that this is complete and utter hogwash, because many of the most important things can't be objectively measured. This doesn't stop management types from trying, though.

Cheatsheets

This is cool - a collection of more than 30 different developer cheat sheets.

To quote the page:

Lets face it, unless you have a photographic memory, no developer can remember all the different functions, options, tags, etc. that exist. Documentation can be cumbersome at times, that's why I like cheat sheets. They are quick references that feature the most commonly forgotten things on a specific topic. You can print them out and hang them on your wall, or just keep them handy in your bookmarks for quick reference.
