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.

Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Tuesday, September 2, 2008 On deployment My favorite question to ask a software development team is "how do you do a release." Certainly no faster than the time it takes to release. How long does the software sit un-deployed? Software is generally always getting better or getting worse.

Its inspired by the classic OODA Loop and is really just a simplified version of that concept, applied specifically to creating a software product development team. Were a software company, so what we do everyday is turn ideas into code. There are three stages: We start with ideas about what our product could be.

So one of the first things we did was to hire an Oracle expert and get to work. It felt like software that grownups were supposed to use, and we didnt qualify. Meanwhile, we were building our app in PHP, using a generic DB driver and mysql, "for the time being." I was building a new startup in 1999, and wanted to do it right.

His post is ostensibly about how often to release new work (whether youre a blog writer, movie star, software team.) Heres my favorite part: If youve got a team, part of the team should obsess about the backlist, honing it, editing it and promoting it, while the rest work to generate (as opposed to promote) the frontlist. .&#

Your highest priority right now is hiring the 1 or 2 people that are going to join your company and make a difference. There’s you and your killer CTO co-founder.

And we cant hire new engineers any faster, because you cant be interviewing and debugging and fixing all at the same time! Even with the highest standards imaginable, theres no way to hire just genius hackers. Hire a CTO or VP Engineering. Worst of all, your teammates are constantly wanting to have meetings.

My favorite instance of this is scheduling software. This has lots of benefits, but one strong one is that it causes everyone to check the status of the build all the time. And even when new tools are needed, my experience has been that you can only figure out what tools you need once you have done the relevant task by hand.

For example, trying to make server software more scalable. The smaller the unit of a release is, the more you can learn about it, because the number of variables that have changed is so few. Its worth doing this not just for features, but for any changes you make to your product. Our instinct is sometimes to do giant big-bang rewrites.

But by the time I was building my first websites for commercial use , PHP had taken over. Since then, PHP (as part of the LAMP stack ) has really been the dominant development platform, at least in the free software and startup worlds. Its one of the most effective paradigms for software devlopment in history.
