Google's innovation culture

i saw a documentary on tv about Google's innovation culture and i found it really interesting. i was not able to find that particular documentary on youtube, but i found a presentation similar to that on http://www.slideshare.net/chanezon/google-innovation-culture.

what makes a design 'Googley?'

  1. focus on people- their lives, their work, their dreams
  2. every millisecond counts
  3. simplicity is powerful
  4. engage beginners and attract experts
  5. dare to innovate
  6. design for the world
  7. plan for today's and tomorrow's business
  8. delight the eye without distracting the mind
  9. be worthy of people's trust
  10. add a human touch
Fail often, fall quickly and learn

Don't run from failure-fail often, fall quickly and learn. Cherish your history,both the successes and mistakes. All of these behaviors are the way to get better at programming.
If you don't follow them, you're cheating your own personal development.
