"I've used nothing else since 1996."

Wow, that's impressive but I'm not sure I'd be proud of not "using" any other Operating System than my favourite for 16 years.

at the Dublin websummit an hardware startup (smartthings) won the competition, confirming the tendency.

Milkplease (refused by YC) is more promising and we are trying to be faster

What it they are foreigners?

if you did worked in startups, you are data :D (did u? ) :D

It makes totally sense to me. What I've found interviewing many startups, is that they just don't have the time to document anything, and other priorities ( time-to-market , burning investor cash, demo days, angry users ) are definitely more important than documenting .

Or, more specifically, they usually start by planning and documenting everything, and they end up with outdated documentation, spaghetti code, and " issue-driven " development as they move forward.

Many of them told me that "using rails framework help us in not writing documentation, because ruby standards are pretty well defined"

do you guys agree somehow?

Thank you for you answer ;) I'm actually making my master thesis on this topic, and you are the first person I hear ( sort of) telling me that "Many mid-life startups fail because their technical debt causes them to be unable to quickly grow and respond to changing conditions."

If you could please support this statement somehow, I'd really appreciate (not because I don't trust you or I disagree, but because researches need references ;)

Here in Scandinavia is quite popular a diet based on butter and fat. They were abusing it so much that they had a crisis : the butter shortage.

funny, isn't it?

I don't really understand how come no-one was able to see it before... I don't know how it works, but since telescopes are looking for stars and stuff much more distant that mars, I was confident that they scanned the whole surface of neighbors planets decades ago... Some explanation?

yes I hate that attitude too actually "I invented everything, how awesome am I" . I'm not here to defend it.

But still he deserve some recognition, afterall he is the first bringing AI to the masses with Alfa, and helped some million researcher's life with Mathematica. And, 10 years after NKS, these are somehow good results -> http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2012/05/its-been-10-years-wha... ...

You can judge people from many different perspectives, but when it comes to "getting things done", you should step back and congratulate him. again, IMHO

I suggest you to buy the book , is a masterpiece imho

Looks like he read Wolfram's book http://www.wolframscience.com/nksonline/toc.html
