Why are people so reluctant to change? Ubuntu, Apple and Microsoft are changing their UIs to add a new layer of usability, which can always be disabled. This is clearly a transition release, like Unity or Mountain Lion,…
Thanks! Just remember to keep us posted
Yes, I guess you're right. Motivation is very dependent on the teamwork variable, and my argument was following the "startup" point of view, which is common here. Wasn't expecting down votes, however.
Hi Walter. As some are saying here, I don't think this is much news-worthy. However, I think it could be quite interesting and illustrative to write an article explaining the whole process from start to end. Why don't…
Well, I'm sorry to say that I believe exactly the opposite. Public committing means a high level of responsibility and scrutiny, and it is the best motivator for any task. In our weelky meetings we write down each task…
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what's up with the letter Q?
And also I agree to work overtime near deadlines because my employer lets me super flexible work time when there's not much work. So it's a tradeoff. Of course, if your employer doesn't compensate with something, you're…
If I remember well, last year we stumbled upon a similar case. We'll know after the announcement. As far as I know there have not been any iOS 6.0 rumors, so this is a high bet. If 6.0 is unvelied next week, then Apple…
I feel you, I also have this little voice that shouts "NO!" inside my head during meetings. But I've learned to say "I don't see it that way, but it's a good idea, let me think on that, please", which has won me a lot…

I've observed that engineer-driven conversations are very, very fast and dynamic, whereas business and managing conversations are quite slow. My guess is that the key here is empaty. Engineers discuss ideas, where…
Oh man, I'm like having a dejà vu. This realization occured to me about a year ago, and when it came to me, everything was so clear. I had been an asshole in too many meetings because of wanting to speak first. My…
Only that Amazon doesn't ship electronics to outside the US, and thus international customers wouldn't be able to get them. Since the Foundation is from the UK, they probably know that. Maybe they didn't go for the best…
Empty comments can be ok if they're positive. There's nothing wrong with submitting a comment saying just "Thanks." What we especially discourage are comments that are empty and negative—comments that are mere…

Very, very thorough. A great resource, thanks!
