If you want to develop and ship faster, then listen to Keith Ray. Here's the tip that popped at me:
Don't use the conventional solutions that everybody else uses - use the tools that can allow developers to go up to seven times faster. For example, use Smalltalk (see also Cincom) or Python or Cocoa instead of Visual Basic or Java or C++. Use WebObjects instead of EJB. If you do use Java, use Eclipse or buy IntelliJ IDEA.
If you use what everyone else uses, how do you expect to get a leg up?
