TIME ZONES AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Ten hours of difference. Brutal. Thanks to the software gods for coming up with a management structure like Agile, and management tools like Jira, and communication tools like Skype and Google Video.

THE CEO MIND
I think all if us are the same. I don’t want to be in charge. None of us do. Its hard. Everyone wants to be in charge until they are, and realize that it sucks.
A good ceo doesn’t really want to be in charge. He is just afraid that everyone else is even worse than he is.

INVESTING IN THE ARTS
So far, in the past sixty days, I’ve helped a great little rock band start its first album. And a painter finance a show.
I have another target in mind, but I have to find the right one.
Why? Not out of some desire for signaling. But for catharsis.
No one helped me. I fought like a dog for everything. Health and all. Aspie and all.
So f__k them. 🙂 I did it on my own. And ill help people anyway.
And ill keep doing it impulsively and at random to people who don’t expect it.
Its the best revenge i can think of.
And it fills me with joy.
🙂

“Its latest round … shows an attempt by Microsoft to defend its castle. Like a feudal lord, it once milked a peaceful populace, collecting generous taxes from the industry that laboured to keep the Windows economy going. The farmers never starved, but it was Microsoft that grew fat.” – FT.COM
I TRIED TO BUY MICROSOFT PARTNERS IN 2006-2007 AND LOOKED AT 200 OF THEM.
I knew what would happen to the industry. I knew the change in the customer. I wanted to provide an alternative to Avanade for the marketing customer. But I couldn’t find more than single digits out of the lot who made more than six percent net, and had any scale. Why? Because Microsoft impoverished its community. They played begging small vendors for freebies they were successful enough to make requests. Then they repeated the game with someone else.
The only way to defeat that tactic was not to depend upon them at all. To build your own (expensive) sales force.
And what kind of partnership is that?
It isn’t one. It’s feudalism.
Bill understood the value of vendors. That’s when it was good to be a Partner. THe company is a ‘Rent Seeking” machine. And has been now for the better part of a decade.

UNBELIEVABLE DEV COST
You know, in Seattle, assuming I could get developers this good to work on this product, the burdened cost would be something on the order of 100 an hour. Here it’s 25.
