Getting Real and MORE
Getting real is about web applications and about doing things on a less cumbersome way… It makes everything easy for you because it uses less software, features, and more which are not important. This also deals with the MOST important stuff rather than the things which we thought are essential but hey they’re totally NOT. One example of that is that as much as possible in coding software/s the writing must be concise. Sentences should not contain unnecessary words. This requires that the writer/s make all sentences short (which means no more bloated sentences or even paragraphs) and to make it detailed as much as possible. They’re after the THINGS that the customers need so stick to that and also to make the software more free from cost of change. Getting real also helps us on how to build less, why staying small is a good thing and more.
I’m glad that there is such a team like 37signals that creates simple software. They had admitted that their products do less than their competitors and they did that intentionally to make their customers more like AT HOME, make their software more easy to use, allows them to work smarter, and to do thing their way. I’ve read the summary of some of their products and I’ve noticed that most of those are about organizing, managing, or even integrating business works with NOW… WITH TECHNOLOGY… IT stuff dude…
I also read that the best way to know what your app should be is to know what it shouldn’t be… It’s like figuring out the weaknesses of your software. Determine which area would most probably hit you rock bottom and try to solve it yourself… Know the edge of your software as well. This would give you more competitive edge against your opponents…
