“High Morale Makes Creativity Cheap”
Brad Bird, talking about Pixar’s modus operandi through nine valuable lessons, touches a very-often-forgotten aspect in most companies: morale.
Brad Bird: In my experience, the thing that has the most significant impact on a movie’s budget—but never shows up in a budget—is morale. [what’s true for a movie is true for a startup!] If you have low morale, for every $1 you spend, you get about 25 cents of value. If you have high morale, for every $1 you spend, you get about $3 of value. Companies should pay much more attention to morale.

When you start following Daring Fireball you have to know there’s no going back—it must be a black day for your Windows box.

Haha, you could say the Windows’ days on my desk are numbered :)
The one thing keeping me from becoming a Daring Fireball constant follower is its lack of images. No matter how good the writing is, I favor image-based blogs. One image is worth one thousand words afterall, right? :)
