The jackhammer vs. the spoon

Neil MacKenzie passes along this from Boston.com, which came from the blog at 37signals.

Here's the highlight: "37signals says they put a few smart people on a problem, embrace constraints, don't try to solve the wrong problems, focus on precision and take the time to get things right. So instead of using a jackhammer to break out of jail, they use a spoon."

We use 37signals' Basecamp project management platform and swear by it. And we see our company as one that takes a similar approach to our own work.
