Video Specification

YouTube is a great way of learning almost anything. Why not create a similar tool for your company to deliver visual requirements to remote teams besides sending a textual specification.
Those who are remote then have a chance to watch a three minute video and get an idea as to what the topic is. However, if people who are making a 300 page of boring specification are the same who will make these videos then forget it.

Take a personality type test to find out who you are

NP was very excited about his personality type test. Meanwhile I was talking on the phone with AM and he just came back from a personality checking type of a seminar. He was very thrilled too. It is my personality to look into this further, if two smart guys are very excited then I should be too. That itself explains my type. You can check yours and your spouse here. I am not too sure as to how scientific these tests are but some of the points are very valid and fun to play with.

See the waste

Do you think if you replace a great developer with 10 mediocre ones you save money?

Do you think 10-20 mediocre developers can produce the same thing that a great one creates no matter how long they work?

Would you rather to work with 2 great people or deal with 20 unknown ones that you never see daily?

Final question:

Would you rather fly in an airplane having a pair of extremely skilled pilots or die by a crew of 10 clueless one?
