Beneblog: Technology Meets Society
JUNE 25, 2007
One of the things I often talk about in my public speaking is the continuum that goes from pure profit orientation to pure charity.

This week Jeff Atwood has a great post in his Coding Horror blog, excerpting from Steve McConnell's 1996 book Rapid Development. He quotes a list of "36 Classic Development Mistakes" that can doom your project. I've had to extricate teams (and I admit it, myself) from many of these over the years. Jeff and Steve are thinking about software development efforts, but any technology project is prone to these mistakes.

Ten years ago I used to take the bus every day from downtown San Francisco to South San Francisco where there was an Odwalla office. I was their Donation Coordinator at the time (this was before they were bought out by Coca-Cola). I read a lot of books during that commute, but the one I remember the most was The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken. Before being green was cool, Hawken was writing about the environmental impact of business and the importance of balancing profit and planet.
