Brook's Law: Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.

Reading the man-month; a great read and I recommend it to anyone working in the software/hardware industry. I am learning a lot on how I should be better at product management reading these great books. I am preparing myself so that I can read Joel on Software (should be coming in next week).

I am thrilled by this new book that just popped into my eyes as I went over to Barnes and Nobles at Buckhead - "Are you smart enough to work at Google?" by William Poundstone. What a coincidence?

Did you know 20% of developers' time at Google is spent on "pet" projects? This has given life to great products like Google+, Chrome. On another note, 3M came up with the yellow sticky notes that everyone in administration takes granted for.
