Making things useful, getting stuff done

links for 2006-07-16

  • Sharp Blue: Three pearls
    Some lovely elegant advice on good programming principles from Rich
    (tags: advice programming productivity)
  • Outsourcing choice – Signal vs. Noise (by 37signals)
    “Endless options can actually produce genuine suffering.”
    This is why personally I think individually customised products are unlikely to become widespread — it’s only when someone REALLY KNOWS what they want that they want that level of choice.

  • apophenia: from architecture to urban planning: technology development in a networked age
    “I, for one, *love* the persistent beta. It signals that the system is continuously updating, never fully baked and meant to be organic. This is the way that it should be.”
    (tags: architecture technology design web2.0 webdevelopment)
  • girlwonder: Bridging networks and gender gaps
    “Essentially, there are two things at stake. One is a numbers game. … The second is a networks issue.”
    Nice practical discussion from Molly about inclusion and representation
    (tags: genderpolitics diversity web2.0 design)
  • Spun » Blog Archive » Diffutils – patching software with .diff files
    I love this kind of idea — something so simple that it just beggars belief that everyone hasn’t solved the problem in such a simple elegant way
    (tags: development programming linux)
  • White African :: where africa and technology collide » Blog Archive » Beating the Big Guys to Africa
    Completely right — and personally I really hope that it is the African companies that really capitalise on this. There is a huge opportunity that is being ignored currently by the Powers That Be
