@ohashimasaki: Rolandās newsletter (in the Roland dressing room), Why do engineers develop on their own? Iām amused by that. āThe reason why Iām selfishly and secretly developing it is that if I put everything on the plan, I have to report how soon I can do itā¦ā āWe donāt know how long what we want to do will actually takeā¦so we make it secretly and silently, let them hear it when itās done, and mount itā¦we canāt do that if everything the engineers do is controlled.ā This is what is being lost in IT companiesā¦
āIf we were to proceed with everything just as planned, it would be a boring instrument. Planning gets in the wayā¦In a way, itās an organized crimeā¦because you have to believe that they are doing it on their own because they want to āplease the customer. I canāt trust them if I suspect that if I donāt manage them, they will slack off.ā - If you build it as planned, youāll get something boring.
Roland - In the Roland dressing room | TOP I can only read it by email, but maybe it will appear in a back issue soon!
Later, after itās published in a back issue, Iāll change it to a quote from the big source.
relevance - underground research
- Developing something on your own and keeping it secret are not tightly coupled.
- If it is stipulated that ā50% of work time is for free research,ā as in Cybozu Labās 50% rule, you can research any topic you want and then report that āI was working on this this this week.
- As I was writing this page, I was thinking that the 50% rule does not mean āI can use 50% of my work time for research as I planned at the beginning of the year.
- Stable Diffusion has been released!ā and you can start spending time tinkering with Stable Diffusion the moment you see the news.
- Weāre not explicitly discussing it or writing it into the rules, but weāre actually doing it.
- Itās outrageous to do something that isnāt in the plan! If you want to do research on drawing AI, put it in next yearās annual plan and do it next year!ā No one would say such a thing.
