Well fuck, why wasn't I invited to the revolution?
Journalists should know better than throwing around weasel phrases like these. Consumer devices like the Pencil are outside the scope of interest, let alone work, of most hardware and embedded software engineers, and it has changed exactly nothing about the field in general, thus hardly making it "revolutionary".
- larrys 12y agoFor this blog post, although a journalist (in training) may have written it, it is on the firstround blog and the purpose appears to be both educating companies that first round invests in as well as getting traffic which can bring first round investment prospects. Hence the link bait title "software is eating hardware". Made me take a look. Simply "lessons for building magical devices" wouldn't have. I'm not seeing any attribution at all as far as who put together this post, could have been a summer intern. Hard to believe (because of no attribution) that it's anyone at first round of any significance. Edit: Just saw carbocations comment re: bylines below.
