SteveM. Re: "you increase exposure to risk in not taking a risk so it might be worth taking the risk" - It could well be a Abbot and Costello line, but the Mr Adams who gives the law in question it name is Denis Adams, an ex-stats academic and cybernetics enthusiast. Apparently it is systemic (and statistically verifiable) fact that not taking risk is risk itself... something about the illusion of thinking you are not taking a risk being born out of lack of a model of the future ... or something like that (it makes me feel TagglyTagged just thinking about it)
I wonder what opportunities will open up when jQuery code are easy enough for non software TwFans to use? I've been looking at some them in anticipation. Their community is much bigger and documentation is better resourced. While I have been spend too much time being bewildered by javascript thanks to TW, jQuery makes a lot more sense. The code uses accesses css class selectors, so for example, a list of check boxes in a form can be converted to a slider by just giving them a class and telling the slider to got and do its business with them. > So there's more of an opportunity cost (risk) if I developed something in TW but could not capture revenue from it. Because I'd have to set aside the quant stuff. Cut and paste some resource from your development budget to incorporate some TW action. As an outward looking function, disclosing some of your core skills to the TW community (or 'week ties'[1]) will result in some new business contacts and some new ideas. The way the TW (and jQuery) communities are organized seem to me to be under the radar of the organization and innovation literature. The people seems so happy!
