21 "Rules of Thumb"

Popcorn and a Movie Night

  This is a must see (1.5 hour) video for anyone willing to gain lots of insight regarding how a design community can ship great software, ship it on time, and teach people how to do it.

Expect to laugh a lot. Expect many improvement ideas worth considering.

After the video, you will remember things like:

  • "don't flip the bozo bit"
  • "don't shake the jello"
  • "don't go dark"
  • "design the product to ship on time" <-- you will get a few ideas on how to do this

You will also hear things like lucid ignorance and reality induction.

This video is a bit MicroSoft-ish. Don't let that stop you from coming -- there is a lot in this video that many of you will identify with.

Presenter is Jim McCarthy the author of the book "Dynamics on Software Development" and Director of MicroSoft's C++ Business Unit.

Thanks to Nortel Wireless (Fiona Koether) for providing the video. Also, thanks to Marielle Chevrier for providing this video review.
