I used to like stickers too when I was a child.

Being childlike is what makes us able to live in a society. We explore new things, don't stop learning, and forgive mistakes made along the way. Like wolves, who started being more like how they are in their puppy phase (playful, friendly, exploratory), thereby being possible to domesticate and now called dogs, we've domesticated ourselves (from the common ancestor we had with great apes) in that there was apparently an evolutionary advantage to be less physically imposing and more like, well, as we are today

(Based on what I remember from a books called Tamed by Alice Roberts)

"When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” -CS Lewis

My condolences, hope you will recover soon

+1 direct manager importance

I'm on Hugo CMS myself but considered just using medium.com at one point but that won't help you for the e-commerce part.

the technologies have overlap in many use cases but are complementary, QR Codes need to be visible and NFC (as the "Near" implies) requires a receiver to be near; you also need to program an RFID chip to do NFC, for QR Codes all you need is a printer or a screen, again very different use cases from the publisher standpoint as well; I guess Google's choice has more to do with what they want Google places to turn in to that with a choice of technology by itself

All very nice but based on my 5 year of project management, I'm fairly confident to say that organizing work like this will only be successful with a lot of luck. Every project or every product that gets developed has a moment where "things go wrong"(tm) and having external constraints (like deadlines, backlogs, ...) reduces the risk of failure ... a lot. I'd only try the approach from the presentation if your team is made up out of very disciplined, skilled people with the full benefits and responsibilities of the outcome.

I'm fairly certain their team (or any team like this) has little or no need for a project manager so I doubt they would need to worry about whether or not you would try it.

I realize this comes across a bit snarky but I honestly couldn't think of a better way to say this. I often find people in project management who have little or no trust in the people who actually do the work and that seems to guide their decisions about how the team should be 'managed' or how the work should be planned.

I also find that while deadlines and backlogs seem like something intuitive, in the end the belief that they really have a tangible effect on outcomes seems to be largely anecdotal. Sure it's often a necessary requirement to work with many organizations, but I rarely see any of those organizations actually backing up their process with measurable results.

Same for when the demo of Quake came out, loved it.

I remember playing Quake on a 486 at 66 MHz.

Performance was terrible, but this was real 3D with a cool atmosphere. My Quake came on a CD though ... which I loved because of the included Nine Inch Nails soundtrack.

I just spent two nights pulling that ~10MB down from a BBS.

10 fps 3D action!

I'm printing this in a fancy font and putting it up in the office. Thanks a bunch!

ah, I get it, this is being upvoted because it's funny few I thought there for a minute we where going to go all eternal September

I spent a minute trying to figure out what you meant by saying "because it's funny few I thought..." when I realized you actually meant "because it's funny phew".

I'd also mention something about the punctuation, but frank, it was the few/phew slip that really confused me. =)

nice and simple, I suggest you make the difference between the "list adding" and "task adding" contextually clearer, I don't mind registering (it was short enough)
