A nice article, but obviously more than a little hardware-oriented. You could apply some of the same lessons to the software side, but the translation is imperfect.
- wickedchicken 15y agoI wouldn't say the advice is more hardware-oriented (although the examples certainly are). Most of the advice can be translated pretty well to software. However, it's definitely geared towards organizations where production and development do have a clean separation; those obviously tend to be larger and older (> 2yrs).
- bh42222 15y agoI would agree it's not so much strictly hardware as strictly Big Co. But I don't think a clean separation between development and production necessarily leads to a slow development cycle. I've worked for both federally regulated biotech startups and huge biotech companies, and you can definitely be agile and fast even in that space, as long as you're small.
