This is a really amazing version of the Daniel H. Pink speech about Motivation. It all into it’s second book, “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us“.

And, best of all, it’s all explained on a white board

I can’t put it any simpler: buy and read those 2 books ASAP.

Getting Real

Rework

This is proper stuff. This is stuff that translates into words what you, THE DEVELOPER, would like to have in your daily work life.

And probably the reason for which having a pet project, something where you set the rules, helps remaining sane, and sometimes to dream that, one day, you will be on your own.

Job’s (a bit) wrong

This is a set of commets to some of the asserts made by Steve Jobs in his Thoughts on Flash.

Safari has just ~5.5% of web users share

[...] Apple even creates open standards for the web. For example, Apple began with a small open source project and created WebKit, a complete open-source HTML5 rendering engine that is the heart of the Safari web browser used in all our products. WebKit has been widely adopted. Google uses it for Android’s browser, Palm uses it, Nokia uses it, and RIM (Blackberry) has announced they will use it too. Almost every smartphone web browser other than Microsoft’s uses WebKit. By making its WebKit technology open, Apple has set the standard for mobile web browsers. [...]

Ehm, what about Netscape Gecko? It’s not just Firefox and it’s share of web users, much larger than the one of Safari, but also the fact that the Mozilla Foundation is very much involved in building (W3C) standards like HTML5 et similia.
I can see that you used the word “Almost”, but that’s not a good start: Steve, let’s try to be more fair here.
