Cause and effect perhaps?
Posted by Christophe on January 15, 2010
In Q2 2009, this blog was in the top 200 blogs for developers.
In Q3, it wasn’t there anymore.
During the same period, my number of posting decreased by half.
Cause and effect perhaps?

Efficient vs. Effective
Posted by Christophe on December 8, 2009
I frequently see people trying to do things better, faster, doing more with less etc.
Less frequently do I see them evaluate if they are just being busy changes their operations, or really having a positive impact.
This is the question about the different between being efficient vs being effective.
Not sure about the difference? This may help:
Guy 1: I am so efficient I can fold 100 parachutes in a hour.
Guy 2: I am so effective I can fold 100 parachutes and every single one of them will open right.
Would you rather give your parachutes to the efficient or to the effective guy?

Posted by Christophe on January 2, 2008
Personal update:
After spending the most part of the internet life time building Shopzilla, the biggest shopping search engine, I am moving on to running the technology at Gorilla Nation, the largest online ad sales rep firm.
I’m looking for talented engineers (developers, testers, sys admins) and team leaders looking at joining a fast growing company with a wide variety of cool products (fun web sites, video distribution, multi-media advertising and more) and technology (PHP, django/python, ruby, java, Flash, QA, CM, sys admin, network and more) in a strong rapid development / scrum environment. If you want to own and launch products, and make a real difference, drop me an email. Oh, and this in sunny LA
