If Larry had posted that to the Hacker News of 1996 (probably a BBS or AOL forum) I would have told him he has no chance of displacing Lycos or Alta Vista then spilled soda on my copy of Webmaster in a Nutshell or Learning Perl.
- gowld 6y agoYou're wording is oblique but the sentiment bears out. It reads like someone who really doesn't know what they are doing technically ("Perhaps it is stored as a unicode string?" makes no sense.) It shows that being willing to be wrong in public (and not waste time thanking people who help you) is a more effective way to learn and grow than only speaking up when correct.
