"How they handle releases is to create buckets that live in the 'done' column. Sometimes when something hits the done column it needs to be deployed immediately (like an emergency bug fix). Sometimes the team is working on two different products at the same time. The team uses different colored post-it notes for each product. Each product has its own bucket where features/bug fixes congregate -- waiting for the next release for that product. As for the 'activities related to a release' task. I don't think they create another 'thing to do' that works its way through the kanban system. When it's time, I think the team just re-evaluates everything in that bucket before launch." - Joe Arnold

I like the ideas in Erlang. It just doesn't need to be in another language. Put the ideas in Java, in a library and every popular language would have access to the same things. I don't even care if the library is native. - Sam Pullara

doesn't scala (+actors) give you a lot of that? - Peter Morelli

So can something like a lib in java emulate what erlang is able to accomplish w/o making the syntax more even more complicated? Seems like a clash in paradigms. - Joe Arnold

Nice revisit of the premium services model. The question is how do you compete with free when others are willing to take the hit for market share? - Sam Pullara

Folks _love_ paying for services. Even if other services are free. There is security/comfort/feel-good in paying for things even if you don't have to. NPR? Obama? - Joe Arnold

"That's one option. Usually what this team does is leave it in 'test'. The developer works with the tester to fix it. This is the 'stop-the-line' mentality of bug fixing. If a bigger issue comes up, then another ticket is created and is prioritized by the product manager. There are a couple of other possibilities too.

This is really interesting. There is hope for Yahoo!. Folks are conditioned to type in 'yahoo.com' when they sit down in front of their computers. That's not going to stop for a while as long as the brand can be maintained. I've heard that on google 'yahoo.com' is one of the most popular search terms & on yahoo 'google' is the same. - Joe Arnold

Agreed. Most activity happens when I'm sleeping. I miss them entirely w/o the 'older' feature. - Joe Arnold
