Yawn. There wasn't one original idea there. Sort of sad.

Oh, so you ask, well, what do YOU do, Marc?

Well, for one, I'm not running a startup. But shouldn't matter, after all, 90%+ of startups fail, so I don't count them as authorities anyways.

Here's a few crazy ideas:
  1. The senior developers do the fun stuff, the junior devs do the grunt work. Want to get out of doing grunt work? Demonstrate some senior skills.
  2. How much of your software can be glued together from open source?
  3. Prioritize software based on the number of articles you can publish on CP.
  4. Prioritize software based on what represents general solutions that can be applied at your next startup after the current one fails. That's my definition of re-use! Laugh | :laugh:
  5. Prioritize software to maximize doing something else besides software.
  6. Prioritize software based on glitz, social media, and press coverage. That way you never finish anything but you can make a killing at your IPO if you sell your stock within 3 days of the offering.
Ironically, I actually do a mashup of 1-5 both at work and on my personal projects. Yes, of course I keep the business needs of my client as #0, but that's the boring obvious stuff. 1-5 is how I go about doing it, which is the fun part. Jig | [Dance]
