If software's the only thing in your bag of tools, I'm not going to give you great odds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I want to see us remain convinced that software matters in the future.
Whatever way that we have in our head that we expect people to use a software, they'll find other interesting ways to use it that we didn't expect.
All software sucks.
I really think it is amazing that people actually buy software.
If we see an opportunity in the software/hardware seam, we're going to take it.
In short, software is eating the world.
Anytime you put a challenge out there, people come up with a creative solution on the software side.
Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
From day one our next generation system will run all our exsisting software - so that gives us a head start.
Software comes from heaven when you have good hardware.
