REWORK: The new business book from 37signals.
First The new reality Takedowns Ignore the real world Learning from mistakes is overrated Planning is guessing Why grow? Go Make a dent in the universe Scratch your own itch Start making something No time is no excuse Draw a line in the sand Mission statement impossible Outside money is Plan Z You need less than you think Start a business, not a start-up Building to flip is building to flop Less mass Progress Embrace constraints Build half, not half-ass Start at the epicenter Ignore the details early on Making the call is making progress Be a curator Throw less at the problem Focus on what won't change Tone is in your fingers Sell your by-products Launch now Productivity Illusions of agreement Reasons to quit Interruption is the enemy of productivity Meetings are toxic Good enough is fine Quick wins Don't be a hero Go to sleep Your estimates suck Long lists don't get done Make tiny decisions Competitors Evolution Promotion Hiring Damage control Culture Conclusion Inspiration is perishable Resources

The Book by 37signals Carl Schoonover Receita do sucesso: fazer o que você ama edit Publicado por Vinicius Manhães Teles há mais de 5 anos. Este post tem muito a ver com o que irei falar no [Rails Summit Latin America][rs] dentro de algumas semanas. Aravis – Quel travail dans 20 ans ? Collaborative writing software online with Writeboard. Write, share, revise, compare. Hello, We launched Writeboard back in October of 2005 as a stand-alone service. A few years later we integrated Writeboards into Basecamp Classic and Backpack. Today, the vast majority of Writeboards are created inside those two products. As part of refocusing on Basecamp, we’ve decided to retire Writeboard.com. But don’t worry — any Writeboards you already created here at Writeboard.com will continue to work. Thanks to everyone who used Writeboard.com over the years. Onwards, Jason Fried, Founder & CEO, Basecamp

Portal de Informações da SBC Por Alfredo Goldman, Fabio Kon e Nelson Lago* Este é o post inaugural do blog de software livre da SBC. Antes de mais nada, este blog não será assinado por um único autor, mas sim terá autores dentro de uma comunidade com interesses comuns. Isso é motivado pela forma colaborativa com que o software livre é desenvolvido. A nossa comunidade está ligada ao CCSL (Centro de Competência em Software Livre) do IME – USP, do qual eu (Alfredo) sou atualmente o coordenador. Naturalmente, ao escrever um blog, temos um objetivo. Voltando à comunidade, esperamos que, com os textos publicados, pessoas comentem e tragam dúvidas; afinal, isso está completamente ligado ao espírito do SL, onde não apenas os desenvolvedores são importantes, mas os usuários são essenciais. Uma das principais motivações por trás do SL é a liberdade, tanto de se saber o que está acontecendo (tudo que o software faz) como de poder modificar ou pedir que alguém modifique algum sistema em uso.

To do list, simple, easy, fast, sharable: Ta-da List Hello, We launched Ta-da List back in January of 2005 so everyone could have a fast and free to-do list app in their web browser. There wasn’t much out there that was good in 2005. My, how things have changed. Now there are dozens and dozens of great free to-do list apps on the web and dozens more on the iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone. Because we haven’t given Ta-da List much attention in the last few years, and as part of refocusing our efforts on Basecamp — we’ve decided to retire Ta-da List. But don’t worry — any to-do lists you already created here at TadaList.com will continue to work. Thanks to everyone who used Ta-da List over the years. Onwards, Jason Fried, Founder & CEO, Basecamp

Employees First Philosophy | IT Services, IT Consultants, Offshore Software Services The Employees-First Effect Faced with one of the toughest recessions in recent history, HCL Technologies called on the talents and insights of individuals across its 85,505-strong organization and became one of the fastest growing companies in the world. Call it the Employees-First Effect. In 2005, HCL had begun a series of experiments based upon a radical new management philosophy, "Employees First, Customers Second," which in many ways turned the traditional management hierarchy upside down. As a business philosophy, EFCS attracted the attention of academics (Harvard Business School did a case study on the approach), the media (Fortune magazine characterized HCL management as “the world’s most modern”), and analysts (a Gartner research report highlighted the customer benefits of Employees First). But it has been the newly encouraged and empowered employees who have brought the philosophy to life. What about you? Aren’t you an employee first?
