on 12 Mar 07Sounds like Judo is solving your problem intuitively. Would like to see how this Judo works realtime… I could use some Judo.

on 12 Mar 07Example Judo:
File upload limits were discussed and a simple solution was figured out… Ryan: what are we trying to avoid with a limit? won’t a gigantic file just time out anyway? Jason: thats’ the problem. “Why didn’t my file transfer work?” “What happened to the file I uploaded” “Why didn’t the upload finish?” Ryan: less software idea..we could just say there’s a limit. and then if people try something bigger and it works, then good for them Jason: I like that best. done.

on 12 Mar 07I suspect that if this quote from the referenced article was included before the chat log, the intent of this post would have been more clear. As it stands, it’s clear as mud.
I’m a big fan of 37s but some of the posts lately have missed the mark.

Jason: Ok – everyone here? I’m going to be taking the screenshot in 5 minutes, so start commenting on Judo. Do you have the URLs I sent? Remember, be vague, pretend like this is a naturally occurring conversation. Ok…go!

on 12 Mar 07These were replies throughout the chat concatenated together, because they all contained “judo.”
In case you didn’t get it. =/

on 12 Mar 07We should revolutionize software as Bruce lee revolutionized Martial arts with Jeet Kune Do... not Judo (windows, .NET).

on 12 Mar 07At the risk of branding myself as a total 80’s child, that sounded a little too much like an episode of the Smurfs. Now, we see what working at 37Signals is really like :)

We trust that you have received the usual lecture rom the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
1) Respect the privacy of others. 2) Think before you type. 3) With great power comes great responsibility.Password:_

on 13 Mar 07Actually, aikido is more suited to the tem “maximum efficiency, minimum input”, but I guess judo is easier to type. It also use to be called “engineering efficiency”, but that is far too long.
