“Most product teams don’t need a separate testing role”, quoth the author. And he may be right. Most products don't need to be of high quality. Most products have few moving parts and few things that can go wrong. If your product is a web a

My sample size is too small for an average to make sense. Smallest contract was 1.5 hours. Biggest contract is 350 hours so far, with 500+ to go.

Approximately 200 USD plus VAT. Sometimes more, sometimes less. If the customer doesn't haggle, the quote was too low. I'm based in Oslo, Norway.

That predates the discovery of oil. A significant portion of the major hydroelectric power plants were built around 1910. We didn't have much coal, but our country looks like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/98/Odda_fr

Is Poland still present on your globe? Is Danzig still Polish territory? How about the Baltic states? Are they still independent? Is Albania the same colour as Italy? Where is the border between the Soviet Union and Romania? Is Slovakia on

Now, that explains the recent agressive hiring. I was wondering what they were up to.

As one would expect, the top of the list is dominated by small, peripheral European nations. As a Norwegian, I'm painfully aware that both my country and my language is too small to matter to anyone else. If I wish to interact with people a

Facebook didn't win because of better features. They went for the most valuable and influential users first. I think their initial user base, exclusivity and gradual expansion were their greatest assets.

All very good points, in line with my own experience. I skipped university and went to work for a big software company instead. I've transferred internally half a dozen times in six years, with half of that time spent in management. I've co

Learn about how other people spend their work or leisure time. Spend a day in their shoes. You'll see plenty of problems software could solve.

Being able to view files directly in my browser is nice. Forcing a download just so that I can open the same file in the same program is just annoying. But be careful! If you serve user-uploaded, untrusted files from the same domain as ever

Why do I need to register to try it out? I'd be happy to spend a few minutes of my time trying something new, but having to fill in all this information is too much friction. I won't bother. A button that allows me to create an anonymous te

Seconds? No. Minutes? Well, yes. In interviews, my tentative conclusion after two minutes is _usually_ the same as after 60 minutes. (I spend the following 58 minutes trying to disprove my hypothesis, of course.)

I'm currently in Asia on a rather crappy Internet connection. Your 2MB front page took more than a minute to load. I'm glad I didn't load it on my pay-per-megabyte phone. You might want to slim that down a bit.

I just signed up with a local SMS gateway service for receiving payments, at a 50% discount in signup fee and monthly fees. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask - and I got exactly what I asked for.

This month I'm traveling and working from cafés. When the battery runs out, it's time to go home. That gives me about five hours of efficient hacking. The time constraint really helps me maintain focus.

I start with the number of hours it would take me to create something if I was continuously in the flow, motivated and inspired. Then I multiply by π. The results are surprisingly accurate.
