One of the most dangerous ideologies is "all good things come to those who wait" or that waiting is a virtue. Applied by people working at all the levels of a system for years and years it leads to steps that could be 30ms taking 30s.

Another variant is that suffering is a virtue.

They say doctors make the worst patients. I wonder if programmers are the least useful of users.

My current ideology:

  Wait on tasks that are urgent,
  Act on ideas that are important.

Is that even more dangerous?

Somehow I have a definition of The Last Responsible Moment that is both less and more urgent than most people's.

Most people, including Jeff Atwood? That would make it important!
