It probably will happen over time as entropy does its thing, but the structure is different than what you describe. For one, Howard is not the successor, Greg Abel is. Howard is a Stewart of culture, but he is not the leader. He also isn’t

Buffett’s giving almost all his wealth away so not the usual rags-to-rags. The grandson has a pretty successful career already anyways (helped obviously by his relation to Warren)

Berkshire itself has less than 50 employees, so it's absolutely possible to do this.

Warren was CEO until 9 months ago. While yes, he's been chairman for 50 years, he's been an exclusive chairman for only 9 months. The role is ambiguous anyways and it's pretty obvious that someone else won't have the aut

> but to oversee their family's share in the enterprise Not exactly, he's there to oversee the culture of Berkshire and ensure it's continuity. Buffett is donating all of his wealth (and has already donated $66B), so there

Yes but I don't think maintaining clones of SaaS products will be very easy. Maintaining integrations definitely gets a lot easier

Creating? Sure. Maintaining? absolutely not.

> The primary goal of a start up is to grow as quickly as possible which is rarely benefits the public. Why is that so? Fast growth, when achieved honestly, is a result of solving user pain that others haven't. Maybe you think so be

The truth is that using AI well is a skill much like anything else. There's no one single way to use it much like there's no one single way to write a program that serves hackernews.

> The article doesn't touch much on why modern decor emerged as it did The theory I subscribe to is a few fold: 1) People like to buy "generic" homes that are easier to renovate/personalize 2) But then they don't

Both spectrums are hard. Solving last mile is really really hard, but if you do that's a huge moat (aka Amazon). If you avoid last mile, you best deliver value in some other way, which Costco does by giving you more per dollar than any

I don't think coding is solved in the way they claim, but certainly solved in some way for many people. I don't write code by hand anymore, everything is through claude/codex/pi. Still requires lots of work to shape the

That's not the argument. No one is asking users to be grateful for OSS. They just want users to not be dicks to the maintainer. Would you continue volunteering if the beneficiaries spat in your face and cursed you out for it?

You can criticize all you want, but he can also just stop maintaining it if he gets too annoyed by the criticism. Maybe that's a better outcome for you, idk.
