    <dc:creator>rtlechow</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[o one has done more to turn important debates about technology—debates that used to be about rights, ethics, and politics—into kumbaya celebrations of the entrepreneurial spirit while making it seem as if the language of economics was, in fact, the only reasonable way to talk about the subject. As O’Reilly discovered a long time ago, memes are for losers; the real money is in epistemes.The Randian undertones in O’Reilly’s thinking are hard to miss, even as he flaunts his liberal credentials. “There’s a way in which the O’Reilly brand essence is ultimately a story about the hacker as hero, the kid who is playing with technology because he loves it, but one day falls into a situation where he or she is called on to go forth and change the world,” he wrote in 2012. But it’s not just the hacker as hero that O’Reilly is so keen to celebrate. His true hero is the hacker-cum-entrepreneur, someone who overcomes the insurmountable obstacles erected by giant corporations and lazy bureaucrats in order to fulfill the American Dream 2.0: start a company, disrupt an industry, coin a buzzword. Hiding beneath this glossy veneer of disruption-talk is the same old gospel of individualism, small government, and market fundamentalism that we associate with Randian characters. For Silicon Valley and its idols, innovation is the new selfishness.]]></description>

If it is really important to deliver Something™ by the date, engineers will, if enough pressure is applied, deliver unfinished code by that date. Unfinished code that is full of race conditions, performance problems, outright bugs and worst of all, poor to non-existent product/market fit. Pressuring engineering teams to deliver Something™ by an arbitrary date can tank your entire business!

    <title>Better coordination, or better software? – Jessitron</title>
    <dc:date>2021-09-09T13:57:26+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://jessitron.com/2021/08/02/better-coordination-or-better-software/amp/?__twitter_impression=true</link>
    <dc:creator>rtlechow</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Try this: instead of making coordination easier, imagine that it is really expensive. How would we do less?
To minimize coordination, establish boundaries and the few interfaces that cross them. Work carefully on those interfaces: document them thoroughly, and test on both sides. Change them sparingly and with effort: versioning, backwards compatibility, gradual deprecation.

Instead of asking when the other side of the boundary will be ready, assume we can’t know. Write contract tests, translation layers, and custom fakes for testing.

Treat the other department more like another company, like Software as a Service, where we can’t control their schedules. Where we can’t access their tracking tools.

Communicate heavily around the content of the interface. And nowhere else. This lets the departments work separately.



A strong boundary is like an extra component. It takes more work, but that work stays within the department, not across. There’s no task-level entanglement. Each team proceeds at its pace.
While some production releases may wait for all the components to be delivered, none of the components’ development is waiting on each other. That makes this faster than the highly-coordinated, tightly-coupled release. When difficulty increases with size (such as in software systems), several smaller systems can work more effectively than one larger system.

This decoupling requires more work on the software.
It’s faster, but is it cheaper? This takes more work: writing tests and fakes, architecting ports and adapters, changing those adapters when our first guess at the interface was wrong. It takes more building software.

That isn’t the work we wanted to do! We wanted to build software — oh wait.

The extra work to make clear boundaries makes better software.
The extra work of coordination only makes it take longer.

When we change the system later, strong boundaries make those changes faster. Deep coordination makes those changes harder: the tight coupling still exists but the armies have moved on, the armies of project managers who heroically held together that initial release.

The coordination is really expensive, too. More managers. Plus, software developers sitting on coordination calls, struggling to test, and waiting for dependencies are expensive (and unhappy).

Making coordination smoother increases coupling, requiring more coordination. The alternative is spending development effort on healthy boundaries. You can pay for better coordination, or better software.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>rtlechow</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“Visibility” should only be an evaluation in the workplace if the person’s job is to be a fucking crossing guard. When visibility is brought up in the workplace, it is only an indication of the failure of management to create clear-set goals and metrics to evaluate their people, and an indication that they don’t truly understand their work product. While there are soft success factors that people rely upon - contribution in meetings, good solutions for problems and so on - these should almost always manifest in the actual execution of actual work. If someone’s work product and road to success is so poorly defined that “visibility” is a necessary metric to evaluate them on, then there is a significant managerial failure - one that does not adhere to reality or actual business success.]]></description>

They appropriated market territories and fixed the useful life of such bulbs.[1] Corporations based in Europe and America founded the cartel on January 15, 1925 in Geneva.[2] Phoebus based itself in Switzerland. The corporation named itself Phœbus S.A. Compagnie Industrielle pour le Développement de l'Éclairage (French for "Phoebus, Inc. Industrial Company for the Development of Lighting"). They had intended the cartel to last for thirty years (1925 to 1955). The cartel ceased operations in 1939 owing to the outbreak of World War II. The cartel included manufacturers Osram, General Electric, Associated Electrical Industries, and Philips,[3] among others.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>rtlechow</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The high-effort, high-impact work reflects the strategy you’re deliberately deploying. Everyone’s favorite quadrant is the low-effort, high-impact stuff. But when you continually pick the low-hanging fruit, the branches will stop growing, so this work dries up quickly as your product and team matures. Most startups are sensible enough to avoid the high-effort, low-impact work, so it’s the last quadrant that’s worth talking about.

It’s the low-effort, low-impact work that can kill you, because it’s so attractive. Hunter refers to it as “snacking”. It feels rewarding and can solve a short term problem, but if you never eat anything of substance you’ll suffer.]]></description>

Jason doesn’t pay much attention to what anyone else is doing or thinking. He reads the paper once a day. He has no long-term goals for himself or his business. Everything at Basecamp is designed in six week sprints; if something can’t get done in six weeks, they don’t build it.

Jason and his team focus intently on what they are doing now, discovering what is most important to their customer and doing the best job they can to deliver that.]]></description>

Even the goods we might have expected to hold onto are soon condemned to destruction through either planned obsolescence (breaking quickly) or perceived obsolesence (becoming unfashionable).

    <link>http://boz.com/articles/ownership-and-entitlement.html</link>
    <dc:creator>rtlechow</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Contrary to popular belief, entitlement is fundamentally the mentality of the victim. The entitled mind is convinced it is inescapably subject to malevolent or negligent forces outside of its control and nurtures a grudge against the perceived injustice. Entitlement represents a fixed mindset where people and power structures can’t be changed which provides an excuse to complain without taking any meaningful action. As a consequence, interactions are treated as transactional and zero-sum so solutions are measured in the short term from employment agreements to APIs.

Entitled people believe that a great deal is owed to them. If you were to believe that, then you would spend your time:
* comparing yourself to others and looking for opportunities to make yourself relatively superior
* hiring as few good people to compete with you as possible
* avoiding direct conversations where there is any personal risk
* waiting for others to point out problems and then join the bandwagon when there are enough people that it feels safe
* passing responsibility and ownership to others to solve problems
* avoiding risks and focusing on safe work even if it isn’t the highest impact
* negotiating for personal gain rather than collective gain
* downplaying or hiding mistakes and overhyping successes
* leaving problems you discover for someone else to fix]]></description>

Among other things, the game illustrates the nonlinear nature of industrial and economic changes; the futility of blaming employees for problems beyond their control; and our general tendency to impose preconceived ideas on complex situations. Understood properly, Repenning tells the executives, the Beer Game shows that “operations must be managed as a system, not as a set of isolated activities.”]]></description>

    <dc:creator>rtlechow</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Offer highly-differentiated products with high product margins (In DSC’s case, value and convenience were the differentiators and their product margins are very high. Avoid product categories that can be Amazoned.)
Invest only in zero-sum markets (A customer buying your product means they stop buying your competitor’s products. This is clear for DSC, but often lacking in apparel categories, for instance.)
Choose categories where incumbents sell only through retailers and have no direct relationship with their actual customers
Choose categories where incumbents overly depend on broadcast advertising
Choose categories where the CEOs of the incumbents are professional CEOs, not founders (thus are far less-likely to cannibalize existing businesses and adopt new business models)
Look for products and services which gather usage data and utilize machine learning to improve over time]]></description>

The app has low maintenance needs.
I can get passionate about the app because it solves a real problem.
The app’s monthly recurring revenue looks good on paper.

The more I join the discussion and throw ideas into the mix, the more I diminish the value of each individual piece of my input. But there’s an important additional reason I like this direction: The deeper involved I am, the more chances I have to highlight ideas that are better than mine. And the more I do that, the more I can begin to demonstrate that my suggestions can be easily tossed aside. Which is exactly what I want. I want the best ideas to emerge, not my ideas.]]></description>

Unfortunately, the majority of data available in off-the-shelf analytics packages are what I call Vanity Metrics. They might make you feel good, but they don’t offer clear guidance for what to do.

The problem with positioning on price is that it gets you exactly the type of customer you’re asking for: price shoppers.

Higher maintenance, far less loyal, and gone at the drop of a hat when a cheaper option comes along.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>rtlechow</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The mass phenomenon of measuring the wrong thing because it’s the easiest to measure is called “financialization”. Financialization is the process by which finance and finances (rather than creation) determine company, individual and society’s priorities. It comes about from an abundance of data that leads to fixation on what is observable to the detriment of awareness of hazards or obstacles or alternatives. This phenomenon is more likely when the speed of change increases and decision cycles shorten.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>rtlechow</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[But if there’s anything I’ve learned from my years in the tech world is that  companies don’t get killed by competition, they usually find creative ways to commit suicide. Office 2010 will be the end of Zoho, if we stop innovating, stop being nimble and flexible in our business model. Then again, if we stop all that, Zoho will die anyway, no Office 2010 needed to do the job. There are numerous examples in the technology industry to illustrate this. Consider two companies of similar vintage, both of whom faced Microsoft: Borland and Intuit. Which company has done better? Does that have to do with their competition with Microsoft or their own ability to innovate and adapt?]]></description>

Having our weekly small-sided lunchtime soccer game against Atlassian. Passionately arguing the style of music required for us to finish Pull Requests. Organizing drinks with Square back when we both could fit into one tiny bar. Debating scaling of our respective sites with Heroku friends (“it’s just a fucking Git repository, that’s easy!”, we would inevitably learn). Literally every one of our office dogs.

In order to put up the best solution for the problem, you need to be able to get lost in it. You need long stretches of uninterrupted time2 to do your job best. Most businesses don’t admit how costly things like company wide announcements, project management, interviewing, internal politics, and large scale collaboration are on productivity. They all work against flow, and should be considered a handicap on product teams. Small teams substitute process with trust, eliminating overhead.]]></description>
