I am proposing a waiting period for new! cool ideas. Like there is for buying guns.
You know, those ideas that come from IT news sources and press releases about the latest thing that’s coming out soon.
The minimum waiting period before making any changes or building something new because of a cool idea is two weeks. Oh come on, with guns it is a month.
There could also be a sliding scale that depends on the size of the project. Small one page application the waiting period could be a week. A larger application or a new website should be a least a month.
The waiting period is to give the idea time to mature so that you don’t end up always chasing the LatestNewCool thing and never actually build something that works. Or to let you cool down so that you don’t build something just for the sake of using the LatestNewCool thing. Just like with guns.
And for all iPhone applications that waiting period must be three weeks. Minimum.
