DESIRE
1. Jargon-y The desire to show others that your are
a smart-ass The desire to have show people you’re smarter than them
2. Unfocussed The desire to posses email addresses The desire
to have others just figure stuff out on their own
3. Undisciplined The desire to ship before the documentation is
ready The desire to ship before a product it is ready
4. Arrogant The desire for everyone to learn the way
you learn The desire to want a product that magically explains itself
5. Scrooge The desire to make money The desire to
make money of everyone
6. Frustrated The desire to punish bad behaviour The desire
to have others deal with your spam problem
7. Short sighted The desire to have others make your
SDKs for you The desire to have a product that doesn't need SDKs
Hanlon’s Razor
Hanlon’s Razor “Never attribute to MALICE that which is adequately
explained by INABILITY”
