Better Living through Software

My co-worker, Kevin, recently filmed the pilot episode of a new reality series on “A Startup in a Week”.  A team of startup guys, including Adam Loving, built a Facebook app to raise money for good causes like building a school in Cambodia.

There are 5 episodes, and some fun drama — debates over how to monetize the app, some politics with the non-profit, and so on.  But the team is pretty productive.  The designer is amazingly fast with Maya, and Adam cranks out code in no time.  There was no staging here; this was all done in an actual week with no collusion beforehand.

I’ve embedded episode 4 here, which has links back to episodes 1-3.  You should probably start at episode 1; over on Adam’s blog.  Each episode goes pretty quickly.
