Getting Real (Chapter 6)

Chapter 6 – Process taught me to a lot of things; first is to get the idea and work that idea in reality. Second, I learned to expect that one way or another in the development of the system or software, one will have to work in iteration as 37Signals says. Be ready to work and work and work out that application and do not be a perfectionist. Next, I learned that it is a good thing to release beta features because then you have a dry-run of the application and you can easily change things as compared to a real release; and doing small things is advisable whether in programming or other matters because there you will feel that you have accomplished something rather than doing things in bulk. Lastly, as much as possible decide in replace for the customers, especially the where the details of any application or system.

As for my comments, quoting 37Signals – “Running software is the best way to build momentum, rally your team, and flush out ideas that don’t work.”; I have not try this before becauase it seems like a nonesense move to build and build for the sake of having a running software. Another, the “i don’t know” answer is somewhat funny, I do not know why but it is entertaining. I agree that it is right to solve problems which are right then and are present than finding solution to the other future problems. Derek Sivers – “Do it quick” advise is good and I like it.
