I Repeat: Do Not Listen to Your Users
via Coding Horror by (author unknown) on February 26, 2008
Paul Buchheit on listening to users:I wrote the first version of Gmail in one day. It was not very impressive. All I did was stuff my own email into the Google Groups (Usenet) indexing engine. I sent it out to a few people for feedback, and they said that it was somewhat useful, but it would be better if it searched over their email instead of mine. That was version two. After I released that...

MIT prof's notorious talk on How to Talk
via Boing Boing by Cory Doctorow on February 19, 2008
MIT prof Patrick Winston gives an infamous annual talk called "How to Talk," a lecture on how to give good lectures. It's open to students and, apparently the public. This 1999 version of the talk (pre-Powerpoint!) is filled with damned good advice on persuasive public speaking, delivered in the form of "heuristics" that you can use to guide your own presentations.Link

via Joel on Software by Joel Spolsky on February 19, 2008
Last week, Microsoft published the binary file formats for Office. These formats appear to be almost completely insane. The Excel 97-2003 file format is a 349 page PDF file. But wait, that’s not all there is to it! This document includes the following interesting comment: Each Excel workbook is stored in a compound file. You see, Excel 97-2003 files are OLE compound documents, which are,...
