“Wow”, I exclaimed at the Business of Software conference in Boston last week. And many others agreed with me. No, this wasn’t in response to the speakers, but to a much less wow-worthy* event – the length of the toilet queues. For the first time at a big event the ladies’ queue was shorter than the mens’ queue.

Usernames are pointless
Did I mention that we’re writing a web app? Specifically, a personal recipe site. Personal in the sense that you get some ownership of your recipes – this means no abusive comments from some stranger about your bad taste (naturally you’ll consider that his comments highlight who really has the bad taste). Ownership means identity which means username and password – with me so far?

One Real User
We’re building yet another recipe site (with a few twists). Clearly madness, I can hear you thinking. How many people do you think will use this? Well, so far we’ve got exactly 1 user (one of us) – however this is 1 more user, who really wants and cares about this product, than many other corporate software applications I’ve worked on.
