The 37Signals people do say some silly things. Who doesn't, though?
It's one thing to argue against trying to nail down all the details far in advance, but whether you're running a business, or even, as Tim suggests, heading out on a trip, you're going to need some sort of a plan.
- davidw 17y ago> Who doesn't, though? Those who keep quiet? I suppose it's better to be loud and wrong and get noticed, though, than silent and invisible.
- jimboyoungblood 17y agoSure, if you also think it's "better" to be the drunk obnoxious guy at the party.
- uggedal 17y agoSome of the best trips I've had did not include a plan. Order a plain ticket, jump on the plane, arrive at the destination, and take it from there.
- michael_dorfman 17y agoYeah, but the ticket had a destination, right? And you bought the ticket in advance, right? And you knew when to show up at the airport, right? You had your passport with, and had enough cash to cover your stay, and a return trip, right? You did a lot more planning than you seem to think.
- jamesbritt 17y ago"You did a lot more planning than you seem to think." Excellent observation. People do more planning than they might think, so the question is, how deliberate do you want those plans to be?
