The sentiment of the post really reminded me of this Bukowski poem: with an Apple Macintosh you can't run Radio Shack programs in its disc drive. nor can a Commodore 64 drive read a file you have created on an IBM Personal C

A lot of great startups were engineered by non-"real professionals", meaning they had little to no formal training in software development and/or little to no experience developing software in a professional setting. A lot of SOP is learned
