Insights and wisdom

Looking within the internet it is evident there are many potential opportunities to creatively elevate and embed a mindset for quality and value. In the process of showcasing others (e.g. Bradley, Coley, Pritchett, Andreessen and so on) the innate characteristics of posts, blog rolls and the internet in general are increasingly enabling sharing and thought transparency which ultimately raise collective awareness, positive energy and trust along the trek to discover insights and wisdom for continually making things better. This post therefore is a general thank you to all who do and will in future work within the internet and IT industry with the desire to try to help in some positive way to evolve quality. This post is also a special thank to those that provided quotes (e.g. see below thanks again Grady) for inclusion within the book, Inherent Quality Simplicity.

Quality and value are two of the forces that shape as well as are emergent from the architecture of a software-intensive system. Interestingly, these factors - quality and value - appear to be consistent with architectural elegance and simplicity.
