Rusty scale?

It's a part of a classic presentation by Rusty Russell.

The whole presentation can be found there:
http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/ols-2003-keynote/ols-keynote-200...

It's definitely worth reading entirely, very funny and insightful.

In particular, this anecdote says much about communication issue in community projects (this slide and the few following):

The scale in a nutshell is found on those two slides:
http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/ols-2003-keynote/img48.html
http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/ols-2003-keynote/img56.html

But you should probably start reading it from this page:
