Heretics Forum

You have all seen Dilbert? The manager is normally sticking to some sort of management dogma but screwing it all up. If you want to see the theory behind all this, go to the Heretics Forum.

One nice excerpt:

Program reviews that focus on getting back on track are typical in process-centric worlds. When they find the experience different than the schedule, practitioners ask "what now?" while processors ask "why are we off schedule?"

• Practitioners keep the target in focus while processors keep the path to the target in focus.
• Practitioners are pulled by their vision while processors are pushed by their deadlines.
• Practitioners are alert for other means to achieve the same end- and may question the end as well.
• Processors look for additional resources to maintain the schedule, and often forget that the map should be disposable.
• Practitioners blaze trails, processors stick to the rails.
• Practitioners practice. Processors "continually improve."
• Practice builds judgement. Process reinforces following.

Infected with a Virus

Last week, I got infected with a virus: eBay. Three little and one big letter, sounds a bit like Ebola, not as dangerous, but much more infectious. I'm buying stuff as if there is no tomorrow. I keep telling myself: "Well, this article does not cost much. And that one too. And this one."

I HAVE TO RESTRAIN MYSELF. Please, somebody stop me!

Joel on Software

Joel Spolsky has released a new book.

He gave it the short title:

"Joel on Software: And on Diverse and Occasionally Related Matters That Will Prove of Interest to Software Developers, Designers, and Managers, and to Those Who, Whether by Good Fortune or Ill Luck, Work with Them in Some Capacity"

Besides that humongous title, Joel knows how to keep it short and simple.

You can find most of the material online at "Joel on Software", but Joel Spolsky has one striking argument why to buy this book:

"... the biggest advantage of the book is that when you throw it at your colleague's head after a very frustrating argument about whether to throw away all your code and start over from scratch, it makes more of an impact than a URL. So buy several copies and keep them handy for winning arguments at work. "
