This quote from Steve Rubel via Twitter lines up nicely with DHH’s emphasis on simplicity: Quote from Good to Great: “avoid technology fads and bandwagons, yet become pioneers in the application of carefully selected tech.” Amen. Easier said than done, as many of us are technology enthusiasts, but it is an important quote.
