Laws of Productivity
This article discussing productivity of technical teams is really good stuff. It’s all backed up by research, which is especially helpful for those who might be building or managing a technical team and need to make a case to business sponsors or stakeholders.
A nod to Tales from a Trading Desk where I first discovered the article.

Having just signed up to collaborate on JDK7, it looks as though there’s about zero chance of this happening on a Mac OSX. Grrrr….! Having done some further reading, it seems like this might be old news to some people - I’ve only really started to cut code on my Mac recently - and I do vaguely remember the storm in the news when Leopard was released, so there’s obviously been a lot of frustration within the Java development community at Apple’s latency on JDK updates… Now that we are a year down the line however, is anyone any the wiser as to why Apple are not listening?
