This is where you can read about the web from another perspective, Developers and programmers tend to focus on the internals and give the externals a lower priority. Here you will read about how to change that, how to change your attitude of development and put more quality knowledge into the <development brackets>

Slow and Steady doesn't win the race!

I heard that from Marissa Mayer, she leads the product management efforts on Google's search products while talking to her at the Web 2.0 Summit 2006, we were discussing what the user really want compared to what they ask for!!

At the end, she explained that slow service but steady and stable is not what people really want and may actually use, sometimes you have to choose to release an almost finished, almost stable service as long as its faster than being stable and 100% finished, ....Speed is everything !!!

We can apply that too on our development-cycle why should we complicate things in order to make a full-featured service online while could have release it feature by feature, better tuning, better testing, and instant reponses from the users regarding wither we should continue into that direction or not, i see that we can win our race that way

This is what I refer to as 'Agility', or at least what I do think so about. There was a terriffic session about agility within MDC, given by patterns and practices team. Ed and Eug exposed this same meaning within MS teams.They claimed that intelligence is to find what features to remove, while not affectin user experience. It seems to me that old times of intensive analysis and design patterns are gone. Thanx God, I wasn't good using them anyway :)
