““The conventional wisdom in our business is that you have to grow and keep moving to survive. We never grew, always stayed tiny, and it served us very well over the years, allowing us to pick and choose projects, and keeping our financial independence from our clients.”

“t’s good to be young and full of dreams. Dreams of one day doing something “insanely great”. Dreams of love, beauty, achievement and contribution. But understand they have a life of their own, and they’re not very good at following instructions. Love them, revere them, nurture them, respect them, but don’t ever become a slave to them. Otherwise you’ll kill them off prematurely, before they get the chance to come true.”

Be good and good things will happen to you

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:00:30 +0400

If you’re benevolent, people will rally around you: investors, customers, other companies, and potential employees. In the long term the most important may be the potential employees. I think everyone knows now that good hacker are much better than mediocre ones. If you can attract the best hackers to work for you, as Google has, you have a big advantage. And the very best hackers tend to be idealistic. They’re not desperate for a job. They can work wherever they want. So most want to work on things that will make the world better.

Quoted from Paul Graham’s Essay “Be Good“

Be good to boost your morale for hard times

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:56:00 +0400

Morale is tremendously important to a startup—so important that morale alone is almost enough to determine success. Startups are often described as emotional roller-coasters. One minute you’re going to take over the world, and the next you’re doomed. The problem with feeling you’re doomed is not just that it makes you unhappy, but that it makes you stop working. So the downhills of the roller-coaster are more of a self fulfilling prophecy than the uphills. If feeling you’re going to succeed makes you work harder, that probably improves your chances of succeeding, but if feeling you’re going to fail makes you stop working, that practically guarantees you’ll fail.

Here’s where benevolence comes in. If you feel you’re really helping people, you’ll keep working even when it seems like your startup is doomed. Most of us have some amount of natural benevolence. The mere fact that someone needs you makes you want to help them. So if you start the kind of startup where users come back each day, you’ve basically built yourself a giant tamagotchi. You’ve made something you need to take care of.

Dunbar's Number

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 23:46:00 +0400

Dunbar’s number is the supposed cognitive limit to the number of individuals with whom any one person can maintain stable social relationships.

This limit is a direct function of relative neocortex size, and that this in turn limits group size … On the periphery, the number 150.

This number was then compared with observable group sizes for humans.

Surveys of village and tribe sizes also appeared to approximate this predicted value, including 150 as the estimated size of a neolithic farming village; 150 as the splitting point of Hutterite settlements; 200 as the upper bound on the number of academics in a discipline’s sub-specialization; 150 as the basic unit size of professional armies in Roman antiquity and in modern times since the 16th century; and notions of appropriate company size.

Perceptual Blindness

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 10:40:00 +0400

“perceptual blindness” or “inattentional blindness” is a phenomenon that occurs when we become so focused on what we’re doing that we fail to see anything that does not directly play into the task at hand.

We basically fail entirely to pay attention to things we don’t expect to see.

Skeptical about this? watch this video.

Not that we can overcome this basic characteristic in our human nature, realizing that it’s there is good enough.

New Format for Tumblr

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:10:25 +0400

Two days ago I decided to stop using my Tumblog as a destination for my links (on del.icio.us and others), and start using it to express my original thoughts, in case I come up with any.

And also I changed the theme to a more Cloud-friendly one instead of the more generic previous design, hope you like it.
