The Hurler On The Ditch

Friday, April 28, 2006

On his blog now called Signum sine tinnitu (I've no idea what this means, if you can translate please let me know.) Guy Kawasaki returns to his 'top ten series'. He sets out the top ten lies of engineers as he sees them. They're all very apt but the one I like best is number 10

10. "This time we got it right." The scary thing about this lie is that the engineer really believes it. Again. The problem is that "this time" occurs over and over again. I have great faith in engineers and believe that in the long run, they do get it right. It's just that in the long run, we're all dead.

The whole listing is well worth a read.
