    Getting Real

    A quick read (and good break from the 1000 page Michener I’d been slogging through), with some nice ideas. Mostly regurgitated from the SVN blog (which I’ve followed like everyone else on the planet), I’d mostly heard all of it, but that didn’t make the read all too stale.

    Good ideas:

    • 59: Hidden Costs, they give a nice checklist of things to do before putting out a new feature.
    • 103: The Blank Slate. I need to figure this one out.
    • 149: Along with the blank slate, Zero Training. Inline help and FAQs, I need to figure these out, I get too good an idea in my head of the stuff I build, and it probably doesn’t make any sense to anyone else.
