Something More Than a Machine

How to Manage Programmers | Rants and Apps: Programmers are not numbers in a spreadsheet. I have seen too many cases of management by Excel. People are moved around in a spreadsheet to match resources and work load. It just doesn’t work like that.
Great advice.

Harcos Laboratories: Most Painful Toy Hack Ever: Idea for a party, or cruel trick?

Very Short But Amazing Speech by Coca Cola CEO Bryan Dyson | The Startup CEO: “Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
Well put.

random thoughts on being an entrepreneur | gapingvoid: My personal favorites:
7. People buy your product because it helps fill in the narrative gaps in their lives.

20. I personally know a former CEO who, once he attained control of the company, ran an EXTREMELY profitable business into the ground in less than two years.
