Hi! I'm William Pietri, a co-founder of the San Francisco startup NeedFeed, where I'm CTO. I am a developer, entrepreneur, and writer. I have spent more than a decade studying and practicing various Agile software development methods, and lately am very involved in the Lean Startup movement.
To learn more about me, a good place to start is my LinkedIn profile. I comment occasionally on Twitter, and even more occasionally post to a group blog on Agile methods.
I also sometimes participate on various nerdy forums, including Quora, the Lean Startup Circle mailing list, and the StackExchange family of sites. Some of my popular comments include:
- telling managers why wanting programmers to work longer weeks is foolish,
- a list of great nerdy tourist stops in San Francisco,
- telling programmers why they really don't want to make themselves indispensible,
- exhorting people to avoid long feedback loops, and
- and explaining why I think the Lean Startup approach has some advantages over the traditional "field of dreams" approach.
Now hiring!
I'm looking to hire a few good developers. For more information, see NeedFeed's pages on working at NeedFeed and open jobs.
