Fire And Motion Jessica Horne
Not in the Zone Last day or two Sometimes weeks Mood swings correlate with unproductive periods Average enough lines of code to make me employable
Summer Internship 2 to 3 hours productive coding Fellow intern only worked from 12 to 5pm everyday minus lunch Team loved him Managed to get more done than average
Most Productive Moved to a plush new office with large picture windows overlooking a pretty stone courtyard full of cherry trees in bloom Worked nonstop on Excel Basic
Typical Work Day for Joel 1. Get into work 2. Check email, read the web, etc. 3. Decide that I might as well have lunch before getting to work 4. Get back from lunch 5. Check email, read the web, etc. 6. Finally decide that I ve got to get started 7. Check email, read the web, etc. 8. Decide again that I really have to get started 9. Launch the editor 10. Write code nonstop until I don t realize that it s already 7:30pm
In Infantry Only 1 strategy: Fire and Motion Fire at our enemy so he had to duck and can t fire at me while I run across this street
Moving Forward Keep coding and fixing bugs Time is on your side Watch out when the competition fires at you
The End Result Cover fire Companies that do well rely least on big companies Waste time trying to determine what other companies are doing
How the Game is Played Sales teams of big companies understand cover fire Supporting different things because customer needs it? Can not distinguish your company from others
Fire and Motion Means 2 things: Have to have time on your side Have to move forward every day
Until we're a company the size of Oracle, we don't have to think about grand strategies. We just have to come in every morning and somehow, launch the editor. -Joel Spolsky
