Less is More
Ian Davis berichtet in Silkworm über die Web 2.o Konferenz. In seinen Postings findet sich dieses Zitat von Jason Fried von 37 Signals
Less money. Traditionally you write a business plan and get some money. This is not recommended any more. You end up with debt which is always bad. Hardware is so cheap it's almost free. Money can't buy you passion. All it buys you are salaries and people. Perhaps you need less people.
Less people. I think 3 are ideal. If you think you need more than perhaps your product is too complex. You just need a designer, a coder and a sweeper who goes between the two and has some product sense.
Less time. Work less, shorter hours. It'll focus you on what's important.
Less abstractions. Just build things, learning as you go. Get rid of the functional specification documents. Instead, build the product starting with the UI, the user experience. That's what defines your product: customer experience.
Less software. Less features, less support. Do simple things like del.icio.us or upcoming.org. Don't solve the complex problems. There are plenty of simple ones to cherry pick
Schön, dass das Einfachheits-Prinzip jetzt auch im Web angekommen ist. Ein guter Gegenpol zur "Viel hilft viel" Taktik.
