I don't know, that's pretty generic.
"You can't honestly think a computer company had the correct platform to just become a a major player in the music industry and not suffer any technical debt or architectural issues..."
But Apple was OK.
- gnaritas 13y agoSurviving technical challenges doesn't mean you didn't suffer them. Apple is an example that supports my point, not an argument against it. I didn't say Gox wouldn't survive the challenge. So you basically have no point.
- TeMPOraL 13y agoThere's also a difference between pivoting a company and starting projects from scratch and repurposing the project, which I think gnaritas believes happened here.
- gnaritas 13y agoAs any rational programmer would have done. The odds that this guy coded the Gox trading engine from scratch rather than reusing his existing code for trading cards is slim to none; that's just not how programmers behave.
