   "useful organizational values come in the form of tradeoffs: giving up one nice thing in order to get some other nice thing. Wishy-washy values like "respect your co-workers" aren't really values, because nobody would ever pick a value like "don't respect your co-workers." ...

   "A real value is something like ... "deliver the software on schedule, even if there are bugs." In both cases, one can legitimately imagine valuing the opposite."
