While I was working...

So many things 'fly by' me when I'm working. I get to know Websites, technologies, design ideas and people all the time. This Blog is about these types of information/knowledge we all gather, while we are working...

Getting Real (again...)

I guess 'getting real' is doing a comeback (...) as investors and companies are taking actions.
In a recent post of 37Signals, Jason pointed out some key concepts from the Getting Real eBook (read it free).

Some (relevant) topics from the book:

  • Build Less
  • Have an Enemy
  • Less Mass
  • What's the big idea?
  • It's a Problem When It's a Problem
  • Half, Not Half-Assed
  • Hidden Costs
  • Forget Feature Requests
  • "Done!"
  • Meetings Are Toxic
  • Seek and Celebrate Small Victories
  • Hire Less and Hire Later
  • Interface First
  • Three State Solution
  • Get Defensive
  • One Interface
  • Less Software
  • Don't Do Dead Documents
  • Tell Me a Quick Story
  • Free Samples
  • Easy On, Easy Off
  • Promote Through Education
  • Track Your Logs
  • Feel The Pain


You may like these ideas, or really hate them, but they do worth a thought.

E.T.
