Businessing: The Kama Sutra of Success (parody)

If it were a full book I would pay for it. If there were a donate button on the site, I would donate. The site was great but the sample was amazing, especially the chapter on agile.

As a Rails developer, I loved this:

"When we say Agile, we mean that all companies should be Agile. If you’re not flexible to everything and responding with Agile tactics, you’re not the best Businesser you can be.

The only way to be Agile on the internet is to build a Rails application. If you’re not familiar with programming or don’t know what an application is, don’t worry. All you need to know is that you need to use Rails, and then you are very Agile.

Agile means hiring developers who know Rails. Rails developers are Rockstars. Rockstars are Agile. Keith Moon, for example, was very Agile. His drum set ran on Rails 1.2 on Heroku."

This might be the funniest thing I've read on HN.

I thought the website was funny - then I started reading the sample. When I got to "Have lunch with every fking person," I lost it.

I'm forwarding this to my editor - it's too good to not exist.

Haha I liked "This sentence prevents a widow."

I don't really consider myself a "real" designer, but if I laugh at typesetting jokes then I must be on the right track at least.

Hell I'd buy it just for the "quote" on the cover.

This is my new religion.

This is more like a series of truths disguised as flying unicorns made of happiness and sugar. Very nice :)

First, I feel sorry for the world that makes me think my second point.

Second, let's see how long till one of the quoted 'brands' attempts to sue.

Addendum: Simply epic line: We just changed what we said because we're Agile. This book is written in Rails.

If anyone is looking for something similar but for general 'big' business, try to hunt down a copy of 'the art of demotivation' from despair.com

Damn. That was funny. I would buy the whole book.

Thank you all, for all your horribly misguided kind words and free internet traffic.

I would buy it, seriously
