Manton talks to Daniel about embracing the power of deadlines as he reviews his success in “meeting with his boss.” They compare the strategy Daniel is using to more formalized methodologies such as Agile and their use of “sprints.” Manton talks through his excitement and anxiety over meeting the January 2 deadline for his Indie Microblogging book. Finally, they talk about various scenarios where “getting it good enough to ship” helps to both get the job done and edit a potentially oversized project.
