Very nicely made but may give the impression that you need a specific setup/computer to be sucessfull / get things done (forget it, I won't say what it is!).
So, for me, the only insighful interviews are the ones w/ "strange" or "forever unsatisfied" people.
- waferbaby 12y agoI'm always open to suggestions, if you have 'em!
- swah 12y agoIt's not your fault, its just that people w/ Macs care more about their setups than everyone else, so they appear more. (But I've gone back to your site dozens of times to check on people I admire.. say jrockway or rich hickey etc. So thanks a lot for building it)
- stevekinney 12y agoI've been following The Setup for years (it's a dream of mine to eventually be interviewd) and I—if I correctly understand what your getting at—respectfully disagree. Daniel is really good about featuring a wide range of people from a number of disciplines on a bunch of different platforms. But careful readers will notice a trend. There are a number of accomplished artists/developers/makers that are really happy with their current setup as their "dream setup." In addition, many of them are using 3-4 year old hardware (controlling for time). The moral is that we can all probably accomplish our dreams (cliché) with the hardware we've got—and that's my biggest takeaway from The Setup.
