Looks to be a excerpt from his book "the new new thing". Like most Lewis' work it's good, and especially as a reminder of how really, today's tech scene is nothing like the 1999 peak frenzy.
- jgalt212 10y agoYes, I think 1999 was driven more by unbounded optimism and today is driven more by unbounded hubris. Neither are good, or better than the other, but are different versions of myopia.
- encoderer 10y agoMy take is more: 1999 was driven by the promise of future profits. Today we're driven by real revenue and the promise of future profits.
