The End of the Portfolio Megastars
- djt 14y agoIts good to look back at what people thought at the time, so many articles are written after the fact and fail to take into consideration the prevailing thought at the time.
- kenjackson 14y agoThat Stephen Fry quote to open the article is absurd. It's a great example of a quote from someone who has never built or led. It's like my neighbor who can tell me how he'd never make those passes across the middle -- of course he's never even played high school football, much less be one of the best QBs to ever play the game. It's just annoying beyond belief how little appreciation people have for how hard it is to build software. Even those that claim they are tech savvy think that yelling at people to "wow" them will suddenly create a great product.
- geon 14y agoI couldn't find the context of the quote, but the quote alone doesn't imply it would help to complain, only that it would feel good.
- designker 14y agoThe quote is from this article http://www.stephenfry.com/2008/12/11/gee-one-bold-storm-coming-up/ http://www.stephenfry.com/2008/12/11/gee-one-bold-storm-comi...
