I’ve been reading the book Getting Real from Jason Fried and the 37Signals group. I like the idea of keeping the products simple. But what I really like is the focus on getting a product to market and letting the customer help you define it. Keep it simple, get to market, then enhance as needed. Another good read is Jason Fried’s interview with Inc. magazine. I share Jason’s view on useless meetings. Meetings are a big productivity cost when you realize they tie everyone up for a period of time and break up your day (ability to have long periods to work uninterrupted).
