How to be an expert
剛剛讀了 Creating Passionate Users 的 How to be an expert，看到一張我愛死了的圖！
曾經一直想表達這個想法，卻一直沒找到適合的表示方法…
我曾在我的 This is Honesty speaking 嘗試過 (就是最後與 pine 學長聊天的那段…)，可是總覺得沒能確切表達…
這張圖或許提供一點線索…
我本來是選擇「快樂/時間」圖，這張圖卻是以「Ability/Time」來表達，
或許沒能傳達我想表達的「樂趣」，卻能明顯表示我想描繪的「高原期」…
以我的「樂趣說」來解釋這張圖的話：
某種能力，可能因為先天條件或某種現實因素沒法繼續提升，
但你卻不想 “just keep doing it the same way"，因為那會使「樂趣」衰減，
於是轉而尋求發展另一種能力，(尤其當你以為自己可以擁有很多種能力，極容易有這樣「喜新厭舊」的想法出現！ :p)
然後可能回過頭來看看原先的能力有無進步空間，也或者頭也不回地繼續往前走…
再拉回這張圖，這樣的想法，總地來說，還是使 “ability" 繼續增長沒有錯！ :PPP
總之，
我的想法，是以「樂趣」為主體，把各種「能力」拆解成各個曲線圖，相較之下有點「微觀」…
而他的圖，則是以各種「能力」為主體，化整於單一曲線圖表示，算是有點「巨觀」…
但我覺得核心精神還是在……「尋找樂趣」！ :PPP
Quotes from Jason Fried of 37signals
在 Creating Passionate Users 讀到 Highlight quotes from SXSW
其中有幾段 Jason Fried 在 SXSW keynote 說的話，挺有趣！ :p
Not everything needs a software solution.
Sometimes the human brain is the solution.
I can capitalize my own words and decide when something is a bullet point.
Learn to do the development yourself.
You’ll be forced to build something simple because you don’t know how to do the complex stuff.
Hire curious people.
Even if they don’t have the exact skill set you want, curious, passionate people can learn anything.
Make it up as you go along.
You’re in a much better place to make a decision when you’re in it, than when you’re planning.
When questioned about whether the ‘no-planning’ notion was a nice utopian vision,
but not practical in larger development worlds:
“I think it is MORE utopian to think you can plan everything in advance."
“We don’t use functional specs… we use stories."
基於第三句話，
我想，我大概知道最近想投 resume 時應該怎麼略過沒有專業技能這項事實！ -.- :ppp

有點久了，不過之前都沒注意到…
第一次看到這種類型的片子耶！
好想看，好想看！
(可是 Google Video 這部片要收費…-.-)
Joel Spolsky (中文版 1 2 3) 應該是主導拍這部片的人吧…:P
(這個只是 trailer…-.-)
Pragmatic & Head First
不知從何時開始，比較注意的書都是這兩個系列的…:P
(以下僅列出最近有興趣的 :PPP)
自從那個 Rxxxxxxx 2.x 什麼的被抄之後，就要什麼沒什麼…-.-
所以，Away 大師，如果您有看到這篇的話，應該知道我的用意了吧…:P
(〈Programming Ruby〉1st edition 倒是已經有電子版)
下面有的話也請順便： :ppp
Update：
經過 Away 大師指點，果然使小弟茅塞頓開、豁然開朗，瞬間使我的小驢恢復往日雄風…
Away 果然是大師中的大師！！！
可惜住的地方網路太慢，棋差一著！ -.-
