Rube Software

Posted on -

Rube Goldberg software design is the meme of the month, after being parodied by Rory Blyth and Scott Hanselman in this brilliant short video, and oddly enough, also currently appearing in Microsoft advertisements: Microsoft Rube Goldberg style ad. Now compare that to an actual Rube Goldberg device. Rube is a doodling app on Chromecast or multiple connected devices. Features: Cooperative doodling over bluetooth. Cast your doodle on TV. Game board generator for Sudoku, Loop-d-loop and Word search.

You can't talk about Rube Goldberg these days without mentioning Honda's amazing 2003 'Cog' advertisement for the Honda Accord. If you're curious, snopes has more detail on how the commercial was filmed.

Any resemblance between any of the above and actual software development is, of course, completely coincidental. We're professionals, dammit!
