Team Workplace Idea

2007-07-28T05:19:00.000-07:00

What if a small team of adjacent people be arranged
in such a way that there is a common networked PROJECTOR
to serve a REAL-TIME, ANYTIME, ANYTHING wants a certain
member to DISCUSS or CALL ATTENTION INTO.

Hmmmm, PRODUCTIVE right? Something like this:

What would expect if your team is defined as
Mark Zuckerberg + (Blake Ross + Joe Hewitt)?

Well, I think that explains why Sergey Brin mentioned
liking the FB people.

Readings: Wasting time on things that really don't matter - Paul Buchheit

2007-06-01T07:29:00.000-07:00

Wasting time on things that really don't matter

Facebook's Cornerstone

2007-05-25T20:01:00.001-07:00

- the vast real people members it have.

It's a realization what power a more real social network could bring.

Its these deeply implanted values...

2007-05-24T22:40:00.000-07:00

that will let you be reminded of things important.

Getting these then implanted stably, involves having immersed experience.

You just have to put yourself in such a scenario where you'll get the chance to be able to internalize good practices into habits and ultimately, values.

Make it a work of art...

2007-05-24T22:23:00.001-07:00

an you'll enjoy doing it.

Then you know what? Enjoying is the key to getting things finished. Finished well as well.

Try to live...

2007-05-24T22:18:00.000-07:00

not a life of excuses.

A picture STILL says...

2007-05-24T21:40:00.000-07:00

yeah, a thousand words.

Likewise, a good experience need no further explanation.

You wanna learn? Just...

2007-05-24T21:30:00.000-07:00

put your hands right away in it.

No one truly learns than by experience.

It helps...

2007-05-24T21:24:00.000-07:00

that you just strike that keyboard.

Maybe its called dynamic mode of thinking. It oftentimes gets something done.

Different circumstance...

2007-05-24T21:16:00.000-07:00

calls for a different approach.

In doing something...

2007-05-24T20:47:00.000-07:00

always start with the output.

That will make making it happen less complicated.

My definition of quality now...

2007-05-24T20:03:00.000-07:00

is delivering and delivering it quickly.

Putting forth good effort on what will make the user of this piece of software smile and retain that memory.

In my desk, I like the beauty of...

2007-05-24T20:00:00.001-07:00

a stacked clean sheet of papers and a pencil.

In a regular company with a long standing business...

2007-05-24T19:50:00.001-07:00

I would rather take the overall product development lead and manager role than handle the headaches adopting to less-aware not so open-minded higher manager.

Yeah "rather" - because I guess, a truly aware team doesn't really differentiates who's what they call the manager or the engineers --- it's just that, the team knows and cares on what it takes to be of quality, fast, delivering and real fun.

There's no other way to assured future success...

2007-05-24T19:42:00.000-07:00

than having a culture of innovation.

In your company or team, can you count how many people have such innate characteristics?

Size is less than an innovative small.

The key

2007-05-24T08:33:00.000-07:00

... is finding the fun and just getting it started.
