  • Are Web Interfaces “Good Enough”? I say no, no, no, they are nowhere near “good enough” but Jeff rightfully comments are just fine with the functionality AJAX and similar technologies provide. I didn’t recognize this when I wrote Presently Unimpressed. Even if Web interfaces are a huge step back in usability and comfort, if the masses accept them, just as they accepted VHS over Betamax, desktop developers will need to come up with something truly spectacular if they want to hold on to their jobs.
  • Do Not Work For A Big Company (if you want to be an entrepreneur):

    • [T]aking up a job is not on the way to entrepreneurship. I personally feel that attitude and aptitude required for both are completely different, maybe contradicting at times. The biggest thing that gets bypassed in a job is the ability to understand relationship between idea and value, and then between value and business.

    Yes, though if you want to cater to enterprises, it would make sense to learn how they work from the inside. Plus, you get to learn a lot on project work that you wouldn’t even dream about as a go-it-alone entrepreneur. I say an apprenticeship in a big company is definitely a useful thing. Just know when to quit!
