In Defense of Not-Invented-Here Syndrome

Joel on Software

The best advice I can offer:

If it’s a core business function — do it yourself, no matter what.

Pick your core business competencies and goals, and do those in house. If you’re a software company, writing excellent code is how you’re going to succeed. Go ahead and outsource the company cafeteria and the CD-ROM duplication.

If you have customers, never outsource customer service.

So if customers are so important, and let’s face it they are what pays the bills, why does everyone hate them so? Why are customer support folks paid shit? And why is it one of the first things outsourced to “control costs”? The world, all 7 billion customers, want to know.

New Government for Afghanistan?

rc3 has an idea

There seems to be a lot of wrangling going on right now about what sort of government Afghanistan will have once the Taliban have been removed from power. My suggestion is this: a government composed entirely of women. I’m actually fairly serious here.

Good one, it will not happen but would still be a good idea. Hell would probably be a good idea for most countries.

CGI-RPC is a proposed

CGI-RPC is a proposed standard for calling a remote procedure. It uses the CGI spec for all calls. Consequently the spec is almost completely concerned with the format of the returned data, not with the calling convention. This addresses the one limitation of CGI that it does not structure the returned data in a form that is guranteed to be machine readable.
