It definitely wasn't a Coyote Creek migration. Christ, pay me $10M and I'll bring an army of 30 geeks to turnaround this landfill fire. I did a startup that M&A'ed organization email providers of all sorts (Exchange, post

Terrible idea. The dev team manager is focused on growing new features in the next release. QA is focused on the excellent of the current release. Subordinating quality to new releases is the result. In a similar situation, devops supposedl

I agree. Reparations: who can be found living that was harmed? I wish someone harmed could be found. It seems difficult and messy to assign how much cash and to who to give it to, and then where do you stop? Diversity points: They're i

Yes, first-mover advantage per category, i.e., Pebble. There is also last-mover advantage, i.e., Apple Watch. If you get the FMA, you have to go big ASAP and continue to dominate.

Goddamn right. The cool magic is the different in the retail cost compared to the undeniable awesome experienced by people other than yourself. Make that difference as wide as possible and people will beat down your door for more. These day
