Tennant’s Truths

• 1. You don’t want to be first or last in any technology.
• 2. Everything you do should be geared toward the user.
• 3. Don’t expect users to know what they want until they see it.
• 4. Never underestimate the power of a prototype.
• 5. Always make a back up.
• 6. Buy hardware at the last possible moment.
• 7. Don’t buy software with a zero at the end of the release number.
• 8. Never bother with Silo systems (they don’t interact with anything else).
• 9. If you can’t be with the operating system you love, love the one you’re with.
