I think Wave is a creative and full of effort generalization of a basic idea: adding something to GMail to promote online work coordination and cooperation. They went way too far and they realized it. I would, istread of throwing everything away, rework the concept and see what can come out.

Limited point of view...pointless

He starts saying DB abstraction layers are useless and he seem to conclude saying every abstraction and every library not written by you is pointless

this seem to me like "I'm paranoid about unknown code but I can't accept the truth SO I reinvent the wheel over and over again putting my code in my library and I say everyone this is cool cause it's faster and performance and bla bla blah"

the truth: abstraction -> helps think about the logic that matters in your program library -> helps not to reinvent the wheel and use code tested by everyone

his logic: abstraction -> ZOMG unknown stuff HEEELP, let's think about every algorithm in my program from scratch and let's justify this to me by saying I'm saving 3-4 intermediate function calls

funny story :) python ftw

where the fuck is the "dont be evil" thing? i dont think financial results as the first focus is ethical

holy shit "let us be evil"

and what if they delist you to claim your rights? time to turn to yahoo?

"ahhh those fu*n management guys never understand meh" :)

anyway debating over 3, 4 or 5 pixels and 41 shades of blue sounds SICK

I hope they keep focus on simplicity and usability that proxy model thing seems complex and bugmaker to me

whoa cool a bank management software connected with an online game :> the first that spots a bug will buy a REAL island and retire on it

aim for 5% annual return, leave 2,5% for inflaction, and you'll be forever free with 25K/year yea you should carefully pick up your bank or your freedom could vanish in the next credit crunch :)

high attention to details from hardware to OS features: OSX just works and it's simple too and if you need unix tools just install macports and you are ready to go...sounds obvious: it works and it's simple

he should carefully check the electrical design of every motherboard he puts his "finger" into :>

and what if the USB port is UNDER THE DESK? hihihi
