Episode 1046

Rework
Dick was listening to the recording of Net At Night Episode 142, an interview of the authors of a new book called Rework, David Heinemeier Hansson of Ruby on Rails fame, and Jason Fried who started 37 Signals.  They have suggestions on how to run a new web business, and Dick thinks it’s just like TWiT: Don’t pay your hosts, bounce your cheques, do as many reruns as possible.

Rework, by David Heinemeier Hansson & Jason Fried
