Is lean the best approach to software development?

This Slideshare presentation looks at how complexity theory can add value to the lean startup approach. I've written about this — in a very tangential way — in the past. Instead of lean startups, I prefer to think of keen smartups. You should not blindly accept a current, popular model as the single, best approach.

I write about this in my fourth installment to my Smartup series, Web 3.0 Smartups: the New Web Business Space (http://jeffsayre.com/2010/09/21/web-3-0-smartups-the-new-web-business-space/).

Well it finally arrived, my fair well email from +eric goldstein, CEO of Amplify. Here are a few reflections on the time I spent on this great platform dating back to late 2009.

I wandered into Amplify from experimenting with Ning. Engagement in Ning had been Ok, but I was missing depth of conversation, people didn’t seem to have time to hang around and so it came as welcome surprise to be greeted so warmly on arrival at Amplify. Continue Reading

I hope I can pass on the essence of this to my daughter.

I feel that love and compassion are the moral fabric of world peace. Let me first define what I mean by compassion. When you have pity or compassion for a very poor person, you are showing sympathy because he or she is poor; your compassion is based on altruistic considerations. On the other hand, love towards your wife, your husband, your children, or a close friend is usually based on attachment. When your attachment changes, your kindness also changes; it may disappear. This is not true love. Real love is not based on attachment, but on altruism. In this case your compassion will remain as a humane response to suffering as long as beings continue to suffer. ~ Dalai Lama
