Purchasing First
“Operating systems, databases, web and application servers, dev tools all required money. To get anything done, then, developers needed someone to write checks for the tools they needed to build. That meant either raising the capital to buy the necessary pieces, or more often requesting that an employer or other third party purchase them on the developer's behalf.”

The High Cost of “Low” Bids
President Whitmore: “I don't understand, where does all this come from? How do you get funding for something like this?”
Julius Levinson:“You don't actually think they spend $20k on a hammer, do you?”

Outsourcing Contracts as CDOs
“These [huge] contracts were meant to be about lowering risk. But when you package up a huge range of functions into one contract the risk becomes impossible to manage”
Tariq Rashid, Lead Architect at the UK Home Office

From Farming To Foraging: Digital Abundance
Foragers
Heads upDiversity - healthier more varied dietBetter exerciseLove nature, travel, and explorationMove more often to new communitiesWork fewer hours, more mentally-challenging jobs. Talk more openly about sexAre more sexually promiscuousHave fewer kidsCare less for land or material possessions.Spend more time on leisure, music, dance, story-telling Less comfortable with war, domination, braggingGroup decisions, with everyone having an equal voice.Deal with conflicts more personally and informallyPrefer unhappy folk to be free to leave. Leaders lead more by consensus.
Farmers
Heads DownMonoculture- prone to diseaseMore sedentaryTravel less, and move less often from where they grew up. Are more polite and care more for cleanliness and order. Work longer hours at more tedious and less healthy jobsAre more faithful to their spouses and their communities. Make better warriorsHave lots of childrenExpect and prepare more for disasters like war, famine.Have a stronger sense of honor and shameFewer topics are open for discussionBetter accept human authorities and hierarchy
Believe in good and evil, in powerful gods.Think people should learn their place and stay there.Leaders lead by rules

Foraging in Wartime
29
“It was at this very plantation that a soldier passed me with a ham on his musket, a jug of sorghum-molasses under his arm, and a big piece of honey in his hand, from which he was eating, and, catching my eye, he remarked sotto voce and carelessly to a comrade, "Forage liberally on the country," quoting from my general orders.
Memoirs of General William T. Sherman
30
“In a well-ordered and well-disciplined army, these things might be deemed irregular, but I am convinced that the ingenuity of these younger officers accomplished many things far better than I could have ordered, and the marches were thus made, and the distances were accomplished, in the most admirable way.
Memoirs of General William T. Sherman
31
“By attempting to hold the roads, we will lose a thousand men each month, and will gain no result. I can make this march, and make Georgia howl!”
Memoirs of General William T. Sherman
32
“I have known the skirmish-line, without orders, to fight a respectable battle for the possession of some old fields that were full of blackberries.”
Memoirs of General William T. Sherman

Even Microsoft is Forced to Forage

Tim O’Brien Microsoft Platform Strategy Group general manager
