Our readingWhat is a korrent?

The default team is two people, one programmer and one designer, on one feature; at that size you can just do instead of plan.

Drawn from what David Heinemeier Hansson said

What these subjects mean

design How things should be made and judged: what makes a design good, who should do the designing, and what an interface is for.

team size How many people a thing needs, and what the extra ones cost: headcount, coordination, and the small-team claim.

Who should design software, and how?under our view: The maker should work in the medium and shape it rough: build the thing, not a picture of it

What David Heinemeier Hansson actually said

  1. David Heinemeier Hansson Creator of Ruby on Rails, CTO of 37signals
    our default team size is two. One programmer, one designer, one feature. When you're operating at that level of scale, you don't need sophistication. You don't need advanced methodologies.
