It'd be cool to see a revival in niche, honest software. The thing about tech conglomerates is while they do a bunch of things efficiently, they also do most of those things badly. If a single person can build something that's useful to herself and to those like her, it seems like it can be enough to make a living.

- rhacker 8y agoI think they do things both inefficiently and badly. They only get ahead because of their sales teams.
- _bxg1 8y agoI meant the implementation is efficient, not the user experience. Amazon sure does benefit from consolidating all of its services into a single infrastructure, and from being able to bootstrap a whole new "store" just by adding a product category. It just lacks the ability to tune in to any particular user segment's needs.
