No, I don't work in NYC, DC, or the valley, and I'm cool with that.
When Less is More
What’s this? A blog that is oriented toward managers which actually has useful information for a developer, too? I know, it surprised me as well. Check out the post entitled The 37th Button On Your Remote Control, over at BNET which offers a refreshing perspective for managers tasked with overseeing people who design applications – or really, anything intended to be used by humans.
While you’re recommending reading to your manager, have them take a look at the excellent (and freely available to read online) book by 37signals, Getting Real. Both of these writings have a very good handle on how less truly can be more when it comes to application design.
About
I'm Ernie Miller. But then, you probably knew that by looking at the page title, or the URL. I'm a Ruby programmer in Louisville, Kentucky. This blog used to be called "metautonomo.us", which I thought was kind of clever, but nobody, including me, could type it. Lesson learned.
