Ignite RailsConf

Gregg Pollack

Swearing and Consulting

I'll be the first to admit I've never read a single book on Agile or Business process (probably to my detriment). The result is I've had to figure things out the hard way as I've built Envy Labs into a successful consultancy. In this talk I'll swear about all of the stupid mistakes I've made and the lessons I've learned which have changed the way I think about doing programming and business. I'm hoping that attendees will walk away with a few new ideas which will help them start/improve their own consultancy.
