  1. @Mendelt Most points I make aren't valid :-)
  2. I am, of course, just bating the process improvement crowd. It's a hobby ;-)
  3. feigns surprise that Lean fans disagree with points in his blog post
  4. Value is not the opposite of waste: why I don't buy in to process improvement http://tinyurl.com/yelmm2x
  5. Biodiversity is wasteful. It is also essential.
  6. @nfma Don't do it :-)
  7. @flowchainsensei Dev teams & It organisations are not simple heat engines :-)
  8. @flowchainsensei In complex systems, waste is entirely natural. Our DNA, for example. Or our brains. Or ecosystems. Or stock markets.
  9. @drunkcod In innovation, efficiency is meaningless
  10. @drunkcod But the typical focus of process improvement etc is to eliminate ALL waste
  11. @drunkcod It's "bad" waste when it doesn't enhance the evolutionary/innovative process (e.g., pointless meetings)
  12. .@drunkcod In the classical sense of inefficiency, waste can manifest as slack, choice, redundancy, heat etc
  13. @drunkcod Evolution is by necessity a wasteful process :-)
  14. Waste is a natural by-product of resilience and adaptability. Seeking to eliminate it hampers our ability to change
  15. Social engineering has failed dramatically in society. What makes us think we can apply it to IT teams?
  16. I'm sick of paying for products and services that are just not quite "good enough" because we aimed for compromise
  17. Dear quality managers, perfection may be the enemy of "good enough", but "good enough" just ain't good enough!
  18. when it rains, it pours. Broadband is out. This morning is a write-off.
  19. Time taken to pay invoice and print record: 45 mins. This is called "office productivity", apparantly
  20. is beset by poor codemanship today. Mostly bad Microsoft codemanship, it should be said
