My longtime friend Marion Jenkins, CEO of IT consultant QSE Technologies wrote what I think is one of the most eloquent and well thought out rebuttals to the proposed Colorado “Software Tax” (HB 1192). I urge you to oppose HB 1192, the so-called “Software” Tax. I have been in the technology industry for 30+ years.

Product managers and designers generally work with developers every day to get their product ideas built, and when the product organization is not aligned with the technology organization, the result is almost never pretty. This usually requires a little give and take. Alignment with Architecture.

As tech seeps deeper into our work and the digital and real worlds combine, a whole new demand is rising for people who can bridge the ‘in-between’ space – a place that straddles both creativity and technology, and takes two very distinct areas of expertise and melds them together. If I have just described you and your predicament, read on.

But by taking advantage of open source, agile software, and iterative development, lean startups can operate with much less waste. I am heavily indebted to earlier theorists, and highly recommend the books Lean Thinking and Lean Software Development. Of course, many startups are capital efficient and generally frugal. No more, no less.

That makes it more of a ranking enabler than a ranking factor —even more so since machine-learning technologies like BERT help Google understand intent better. At G2 , for example, we learned that a query syntax like “free [software name]” can’t be solved with a filter on a category page. No conversation in SEO can exclude user intent.

You’ve got a great idea and domain expertise, but limited money and insufficient technology resources. Should you co-found your company with a software development shop? They’re well aware of the conventional VC bias against funding companies which externally develop their technology, but they do have relevant skills.

It's challenging to build, design and deploy software. Almost every software engineer I've ever worked with is irrational in how fast they believe they can build software. At my last startup we eventually started using a process called "scrum," which is basically a framework for managing agile engineering projects.

As one engineer recently told me, “Once we had money in the bank and were near-profitable, I think we would have been well-served by increased up-front product and technology planning. Let's consider cases: Can you have a piece of software with good product design and bad technical design? He’s right.

If you think the product manager job is what’s described in a Certified Scrum Product Owner class, you almost certainly fall into this category. Those were the technology-powered innovations that enabled the new, much more desirable business model. In this model, the product manager is really a backlog administrator.

Heres something I can relate to: We used assembla for subversion, scrums, milestones, wikis, and for general organizational purposes. Scrum reports would come in once a month, nobody was actually responsible for anything. My favorite instance of this is scheduling software. Seth Godin: How often should you publish?

As hackers, we’re familiar with the need to scale web servers, databases, and other software systems. Most technology companies hit a wall with dev team scalability somewhere around ten developers.
