This seems to be written by someone not very familiar with history. While a different form factor, we have had small TV screens since TV was invented. People called for a Video iPod before we had iPhones because we wanted to watch video on

Horribly, I joined a friends start up and it was all lies. I didn't realize they were dishonest and that friendship meant nothing to them. Basically every promise they took back. I was young and naive so I didn't get it in writing

I think it was Jamie Zawinski who said the reason he left Netscape was that it went from being full of people that wanted to build a great company to being full of people who wanted to work at a great company. The later culture won.

I have never seen a rewrite where there were no new features added to the software. Maybe the is part of the message, don't add features until you hhave replaced the old system. That sounds like a good idea but almost no one approaches

Windows NT 3.51 was a big milestone in terms of stability. Windows NT 4 got even better from a stability point of view. I can't remember the last time I got a Windows blue screen of death when it used to be common to see one but on a d

Another great source is Show Stopper, a book about creating Windows NT. I read it years ago, it was the first time I saw the term dog fooding to describe using what you are building as you are building it. https://www.goodreads.c

This the the normal progress Brooks wrote about. Yes, we have things that have made our lives better or allowed us to make the things about programming that are accidentally hard, easier. The no silver bullets means that there is no magic t
