Maybe. On the other hand, people do things every day for the love of it that get little traction in the market place. It seems more likely this confluence is just a coincidence.
- Groxx 16y agoI wonder if it might be a requirement (or nearly) for run-away successes though, while obviously not sufficient for it.
- mahmud 16y agoIf software done under these requirements, the world will see more compilers and far fewer ERP systems.
- kranner 16y agoCareful, you never know if Malcolm Gladwell is lurking here.
- Groxx 16y agoI'm not aware of that reference... care to enlighten me? The wikipedia entry didn't really answer it for me.
- scrame 16y agoMalcolm Gladwell writes books about "success" where he uses many anecdotal (albeit fascinating) stories to come to a very vague conclusion of how people can be "successful". GP was referring to "qualities of success" (passion, writing something for yourself), which don't necessarily cause success. It was tongue-in-cheek.
- kranner 16y agoThanks, well put, just what I meant.
- aerique 16y agoNot just coincidence. I've bought quite a lot of indie games the last few years but Minecraft is one of the few I recommend, no, urge my friends to buy. It's genuine fun, different and has QWAN.
