I think this could be a very good thing. I would like to come in as an "old guy" single founder, and hook up with a Bus-Dev guy(or gal). I have quite a few ideas, but most would need a few people to get off the ground. A few things that I a

Documentation done right is a real joy. Of course to do it right, one needs to completely understand what is going on. It takes some real discipline to get to that point, and then not skip to more exciting things.

Microchip runs a Masters Conference every year at the end of August. During the week long event they do daily tours of their Phoenix FAB. I think with a bit of determined pleading, one could get a tour other times of the year too.

I am pretty impressed with this post. While, it looks like Jay just started this blog, the style is engaging and I am tempted to give his methods a try. I am not sure if I can beat down my self-diagnosed ADHD enough though:)

I usually get one nap a week on Sunday afternoons for about 3 hours. I find that I feel more creative and ambitious in the period after this nap than at any other time in the week. While it is feasible to add one more day to my nap schedul

While this book sounds like it would cover a lot of what someone might have missed in a CS program if they were not very inquisitive, I picked that stuff up, and continue to do so as i forget by going back and looking things up. My vote for
