The separation is generally not so clear as the article suggests: take Google search as an example. A powerful algorithm is used to rank the search results by relevance. But relevance is to a large degree determined how often pages are refe

It's more than a lottery. It is also a great adventure of which you can learn a lot. We need those visionary "crazy" people with big ideas that change the world.

The 37Signals model is a valid model and it is honorable that they evangelize it. I would say, it is the "30-something-model" for people you can't affort to deal with high risks and prefer to slidely glitch into professional independence.

A large number of Mac users are also professional designers or music producers and not part of that typical Internet user. So Mac users may pay for Mac software, but not for web-services. My point is: the consumer market offer less niche ma

You are right. I used the term "enterprise software" only as a contrast to "consumer software". The "Fortune 5,000,000" is probably the best target market for a startup. Why? Targeting large enterprises (what the company I work for does) is

The title of the blog-post is "Aren’t There Real Problems To Solve?", which is something completely differnet than "Aren't There Any Real Problems Left To Solve?". The latter sounds like a rhethorical question that suggests that progress ha

Usage, technology, resources, bottlenecks - all have been changing all along the time and further will change. The ideal solution of today will not be a good solution for tomorrow. What you call mess, is the result of an evolutionary develo

You are right, i was unclear here. I didn't mean "urgency is poisonous" is counter-intuitive, but rather the advice in the blog-posting "we work less (4 days a week) to be more productive". The issue with urgency is that you often have no c

Two little stories: A friend of mine has been trying since 10 years to transform his consulting company into a product company - without success. The projects he has implemented were too expensive in terms of development and maintenance to
