有一点点得意

昨天项目组20几号人开了个会,讨论未来的发展方向,俗称brainstorming。会议气氛相当活跃,大家各自说出自己对现状的不满以及未来的发展方向,其实我也对这个项目(以及其采用的技术)有很多想法,只是这一次,我不想再从技术角度谈了(其实是不想成为祥林嫂)。我是个消极的人,当多次提出(技术)倡议却不能得到响应时,便不再坚持了。尽管这一次换了角度,我仍然不认为自己的想法能够成为现实。但还是决定说一说,哪怕是为了心理卫生。

我说:“大家都有很多想法,但是这么多年,想法还是想法。如果说我们不能像Google那样给每个员工20%的时间做任何事,那么能不能给我们20%的时间做跟项目相关的事?让大家把自己的想法实现出来。事实胜于雄辩,有些事情是说不清楚的,也不可能得到所有人的同意,只有实实在在的成果才是最有说服力的。其实有些人已经在这样(偷偷地)做了,但是他们难免会有负罪感,成功了还好,要是失败了呢?……”。

没想到我的一番话引起很多人的共鸣,大家或公开发言、或私下里向我表示,我说到了他们的心里。看着大家不再讨论技术细节,而是随着我的话题延伸开去,不禁有一点点得意,尽管我知道,想法很可能还会只是个想法。

The reason that del.icio.us is down is

“power failure
By joshua on service alert

Our datacenter has had full power outage, and we are now recovering from the aftermath. About half of the machines are still down and we are working on bringing them back as soon as possible. To keep things moving, I’ve turned off RSS and some other features so that posting will still work and so that you will still have access to your bookmarks.

5pm EST Update: Everything is back up. We apologize for the inconvenience. It looks like a number of slave servers are corrupted. We’re rebuilding them now and taken the site down so this goes as quickly as possible.

Update: Some servers are coming up. Should be going much faster from here on in.

PS — we are obviously not yet on the Yahoo! infrastructure, and this is exactly the kind of stuff they can do a lot better for us (and you.)”
