My first career was spent building radio and television stations, then running the programming side of those businesses. Lots of online marketing before that, but we had some great results when we were picked up by a national radio program. In this era of “open source” everything, open conversations on blogs make a lot of sense.

In the mid-1990s, a good friend of mine, Gene Kim (founder of Tripwire and author of When IT Fails: A Business Novel ) and I were in graduate school together in the Computer Science program at the University of Arizona. I wrote an article for the IEEE Spectrum called The Future of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is Open.

In a previous post I mentioned an interview I had at Netscape in 1998. They were unrelated to programming for the most part. The only hard programming question was how to traverse a binary tree with two pointers and without using a stack. Some ask questions everyone should ask, such as the financial situation of the company.

In 1998, SourceGear was looking to hire a full-time person in technical support. Twelve years later, I think there is some wisdom in hiring people who have made significant contributions to an open source community project. But a lot of people work on an open source project simply because they have a passion for coding.

In the great bubble of 1998-2000, the boom in public valuations mirrored the boom in private valuations. The inflation-adjusted data from the last bubble tells the story: In the 3-year period from 1998-2000, venture capital firms raised more than $200 billion, which represented about 0.55% of the national GDP. Much better.

But indirect reciprocity plays a powerful role in online communities, such as open-source development. When we intentionally or unintentionally hurt our relationship partners, we apologize.” ( Estrada-Hollenbeck & Heatherton, 1998 ). When people think of reciprocity, they usually think of direct reciprocity.

Microsofts originalplan was to make money selling programming languages, of all things.Their current business model didnt occur to them until IBM droppedit in their lap five years later. Hackersshould do this even if they dont plan to start startups, because its the only real way to learn how to program. Thats nonsense.
