Joel on Software - Hitting the High Notes
Joel on Software - Hitting the High Notes:
In March, 2000, I launched this site with the shaky claim that most people are wrong in thinking you need an idea to make a successful software company:
The common belief is that when you're building a software company, the goal is to find a neat idea that solves some problem which hasn't been solved before, implement it, and make a fortune. We'll call this the build-a-better-mousetrap belief. But the real goal for software companies should be converting capital into software that works.
For the last five years I've been testing that theory in the real world.
