while linux or git was created relatively sololy by a single person (at least at the beginning), i dont think you can call the internet a solo production.
- onion2k 3y agoI'm not calling any of them solo productions. Linux and the internet were both massively collaborative projects built by many people who met up maybe once or twice a year, and certainly not all of them at once ever. They were globally distributed. Being in an office together was not necessary for the success of those things, which were some of the hardest technical research projects ever, so I'm questioning if people really need to be in-person to make YouTube or GMail. (I don't know the history of git, maybe that too though.)
- ghaff 3y ago>i dont think you can call the internet a solo production No, although there were certainly co-located or nearby individuals and teams that contributed specific chunks--certainly parts that were hardware or depended on hardware.
