Being a creep: the definitive guide of what not to do. I’ll keep this nice and short: earlier this week a very good friend of mine got this gem in their inbox on LinkedIn.  Let’s call this douchelord “Jim” and he emailed my friend to try and get a ‘blind-date’ with our mutual friend.  Let’s cover the facts quickly:  My friend has met this guy, “Jim” once 6+ months ago, and hasn’t talked with him since. LinkedIn was his communication mode of choice… you know, the network of professionals.  Good choice.  He quotes that he needs a new gf (for my mom that means girlfriend), which screams desperation.  Wonder who he will eventually find with these ‘smooth moves’ of his?…

The good news: squeezed all but 0.1GB out of my mobile data plan last month.  The bad news:  (1) went over on my wireless voice usage, again.  (2) I’m likely having my data throttled because of my 5.9GB usage last month.

“It is easy to build everything.
It is next to impossible to build nothing.” —

My thoughts when it comes to software development.  

With today’s tools and the (relatively) minimal cost to begin developing, it becomes incredibly enticing just to build something.  Anything.  Everything.  

It is much more difficult (next to impossible) to have a plan, understand the minimum viable product (MVP), and create your business around this sound philosophy.
