Disclaimer: I've read this article at least 10 times and I have never posted it to Hacker News. That being said, even though it is a repost (and should have the date added to the title), with all of the "interesting" articles on HN about the latest theories in start up-i-ness, like another company who shows everyone their employees salaries by name, or once again how bad/good/awesome bitcoins are, this is definitely worth another read. A lot can be learned about how to succeed in technology by studying Bellard's methods: -- Incremental changes to under served problems -- Solid techniques that stand up to the test of time -- Great documentation -- Building communities around problem sets -- Knowing your strengths and sticking to them, only jumping when it makes sense The list goes on and on. Any person who wants to be successful in this business would do well to take the 10 minutes it takes to read this post.
