SPaMCAST 185 - Narcissism of Small Differences, Listener Comments

Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 185! The Software Process and Measurement Cast 184 my essay titled the "Narcissism of Small Differences."  This essay is based on comments made by Corey Haines in the .  The essay begins: Every interview I do for the Software Process and Measurement Cast teaches me something about our industry and the people that populate it.  Occasionally a topic is brought up that sets me off on a new path of exploration and that changes how I interact with the world around me.  The interview with Corey Haines in the SPaMCAST 182 was one such interview, during the cast, Corey referred to the concept of the "narcissism of small differences" as a barrier to delivering value.  His point was dead-on but after I did some research I discovered that like many other concepts this one is a bit more complicated.  Shameless Ad for my book!  co-authored by Murali Chematuri and myself and published by J. Ross Publishing. We have received unsolicited reviews like the following: "This book will prove that software projects should not be a tedious process, neither for you or your team."
