I think "feedback loop" is a great way to sum it up. Looking at the trendy software development methodologies, or broadening even more to include "customer development" ( http://startuplessonslearned.blogspot.com/2008/11... ), the common thread is adding, or tightening, feedback loops.

The waterfall method is the one software people dump on and the reason is simple: no feedback loop.

If google calendar were designed to better suit the specific case of taking orders over the phone and scheduling deliveries, would that make it better software?

The way to judge "better" is probably product-market fit ( http://blog.pmarca.com/2007/06/the-pmarca-gu-2.ht... ). This yardstick applies in both the consumer case and the enterprise case.

Very cool. I'm curious about tools for doing these kinds of graph visualizations. I have a bit of a bias toward "open web" javascript/canvas as opposed to flash, but I haven't validated that opinion with actual implementation. Curious what your thoughts are on that.

I'm wondering how else to attack this -- I mean, if you could easily reverse a hash like this, that would basically undermine anything out there that depends on SHA1 for security, yes?
