Patents, but also copyright on software. We gain nothing by rewriting the software every time, OSS should be the default. Same for music. It’s more controversial but Spotify is monetizing convenience, not music, which itself is available for free on P2P.

What are notable books nowadays? It seems all the books I can cite are from 2005-2010 (Clean Code, JCIP, even the Lean Startup or Tribal Leadership…) but did the market for legendary books vanish in favor of Youtube tutorials? I’m running out of materials I can give to my interns to gobble knowledge into them in bulk.

At the time it felt astonishing that central banks allowed non-state currencies to exist on national ground, for the first time. It still feels astonishing.

A company sold for 3 million is... I mean, in average, I see that the worth is about 1m$ per employee. If you sold for less, your stock performed poorly compared to others. Maybe the product or the engineering was great, but on the wrong market or never met its window. Business is difficult.

The question is, would you have had excellent returns if the company had been worth $1m per employee?
