If you have noticed that everything around you has a tendency to depreciate, for example if you are using a headset every day there comes a time when they break down or show symptoms that there is something wrong with this headset due to the wear and tear and then you come to know the kind of headset that you have doesn’t have any spare parts available in the market, so just because of this reason I prefer the kind of the companies who not only make headset of hand but also make their spare parts like ear loops, ear cushion, spare batteries and much more.

This is the biggest problem I see in my large enterprise.

The only one of your points I'd really disagree with is #4. Startups die like flies, but mostly they die because nobody was willing to pay for what they built, not because of failure to deliver a working system.

In other words, business is harder than technology, but we already knew that.

This phenomenon occurs when a team needs to take a dependency on another team for something high priority to the first team. Problems occur when the second team's priorities are different than the firs teams - this happens often and one reason why large organizations (like Microsoft) often duplicate work. It can simply be easier and more dependable to a team's schedule to do something themselves rather than depend on another team.

These people perform and deliver on every aspect of the end to end process at almost any cost. They love it and it's just the kind of person you need to get a startup off the ground. Unfortunately it's the rare hero who can scale. Once a startup becomes successful it needs to focus more on the features listed below. The heros are given teams and told to delegate and manage components of their growing processes. More often than not this results in dissatisfaction for the hero. The newly successful startup incurs a high amount of turn over in their effort to figure out how to remain successful. The new set of heros brought in do not necessarily feel the same sense of end to end ownership that the original set of heros did.

I don't think it has to be this way though. If companies recognize this issue they can put focus on developing technical career tracks to retain the original heros. In turn these heros can inspire the same breadth and depth of company ownership in new employees. I've found that startups attract and employ heros.

Have retweeted accordingly.

It always amazes me that in large organisations the bias is always towards huge juggernauts that do everything in a mediocre manner, rather than a collection of small systems that do a few things with excellence (sort of #3). As pointed out in the article a lot of this comes down to risk aversion (#5,#7) and legacy effect (#2).

It is hard to keep things simple when people want more and more from the same system. Layer upon layer gets added and the developers suddenly find themselves in their own juggernaut.

Maybe it is necessary to identify a threshold of complexity, beyond which a new system is called for. Excellent post. Have retweeted accordingly.

Everyone in the company has hold of a different bit of the elephant, but nobody can grasp the whole thing. Hence changes to optimise one part are often inadvertantly pessimal somewhere else.

You may want to replace some ancient COBOL monster with a web-based service scripted in Ruby. First you have to find and understand every single person and system that currently interacts with it (probably about half the company), and understand what their job is, how they do it now, how they will do it with the new system, and hence what features the new system is going to need. If you don't do this then you are likely to break something.

This is yet another example of the complexity we run into when trying to solve the problem. The most basic flawed assumption that I see, over and over, is thinking that threads are "not that hard" and that "I can make them work." The only way I think we can make concurrency work is by truly making it so trivial that the average programmer can write correct concurrent programs without knowing much.

So what's your take on solutions moving forward. Are we looking towards a radical paradigm shift in computing including hardware architectures(ie specialized hardware for specific task domains) or just a rethink of languages. Well written.

What I need is what Cameron started with, a 2.5mm jack to Modular handset plug adapter. The radio shack part has been discontinued. Any ideas?

We were green in heart and we'll stay green but currently we're deep dark for many of our friends who got killed and arrested by this brutal regime.

For those friends who don't know Persian, it says "Where is my vote?" and "Long life Mousavi". Thanks Cameron.
