What a great post! I've been a different Myers-Briggs type in the few times that I've taken them, and outside of its usage in business, I've heard things like if you and your partner only differ by one type, that could mean that you will ha

As alluded to in the post, I think that the 80k/startup rule is probably not a good one either. 80k might not be enough and "doing more with less" can just as often lead to failure. Case in point is the recent post about the lean startup th

"The way to get startup ideas is not to try to think of startup ideas." That is the best thing I've ever read from PG. But I would say, "Ideas lead to action, and only action builds a startup. Ideas upon ideas lead to ideas, not a startup."

Sony's problem is that they need the next big thing. They had the Walkman, then the Playstation (and 2 and 3). Outside of that they are just like any other mid-level electronics brand to me. Sony should invent something like a net-enabled h

Friends! Talking through things with honest people is the best feedback. This doesn't work if you have a lot of supportive rather than honest and blunt people around, so if needed talk to strangers first. Try going to a meetup for something

"OO works best for large-scale, lots-of-people projects." Nice! But, I think it is the other way around. Throw a lot of people at something with some software architects and you'll probably have a large-scale, lots-of-people, "OO" project.

I can't say I disagree with not having dedicated R&D. The notion of having an R&D department is stuck in the 1950's where the geeks and the worker bees didn't mix. Everyone should be able to and be encouraged to innovate.
