   IMVU has done continuous deployment for many years (way before it was cool). For details, I think this presentation is probably the best: http://www.slideshare.net/bgdurrett/sds-2010-continuous-depl... I've also contributed a chapter on i

   Actually, continuous deployment does not necessarily need to be automated. In my experience, it's possible to get going with it in a totally incremental way. One easy way to get started is with this post: http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/c

   Taylor still believed in the importance of individual character and skills. Taylor used the term "first-class man" to refer to the kind of person you could train to do high-quality work in scientific management. But he was careful to say th

    I appreciate the feedback. I find it hard to balance between introducing a new audience to the material and having something new for people who follow online. I love this quote: "Repetition in an age of infinite content availability is unne

    I don't have access to the underlying study - the WSJ summary doesn't contain the actual data. Would you be willing to share it? My claim is not that the SD's are the same, but that they are roughly the same. In other words, I don't think t

    Clearly it's not important for those colleagues. I'm honestly curious as to why, given that I believe that the behavior in question seems to me anti-meritocratic (because it drives away worthy people from wanting to work with your team). I

    I simply can't imagine what relevant factor would cause a difference in the width of these curves. I know that, in general, men have a higher standard deviation for most activities and attributes than women, but these effects are minor. So,

    I also attempted to address this point head-on: "To be clear, though, this diversity refers only to diversity of opinion, not necessarily to demographic diversity. So why is demographic diversity important? "Demographic diversity is an indi

    I think the most interesting part of Guns, Germs and Steel was the assertion that violence is not an aberrant condition for humans. In other words, violence is not a disease, it's standard operating procedure. However, it's normal only unde

    Looks pretty MVP-ish to me, especially given the comments here so far. Hope you'll share some data on what you've learned and some stories of what you experienced. Was it scary to put up the MVP? In retrospect, are there features you could

    That's a fair point. I did not mean to imply that Drucker's work has no relevance for startups. For one, I've been profoundly influenced by his writing. Rather, I'm trying to work towards a new theory of entrepreneurship that can help us fi

    There are similar problems in astronomy, cosmology, geology - and yet, we can still do science in those fields. Management science is hard, but management mythology is worse.

    For an alternate POV, see: http://startuplessonslearned.blogspot.com/2009/08/steve-jobs... In particular, Jobs is quoted as saying "It’s not about pop culture, and it’s not about fooling people, and it’s not about convincing people that t

    Well said. I think part of the reason entrepreneurship is so hard is that we are really good at after-the-fact rationalization.
