My first company (Big Bear) found a way of programming
VCRs and DVDRs from a computer through USB, Ethernet
or Wireless. It's possible to manage and program
any number of video receivers in a house. It's sort
of like Tivo with no subscription and it works with any brand.
My second company (Brontosaurus Software) is solving is
streamlining software engineering with the algorithm engine so that programmers can write code by describing what
the algorithm does and not how it works. So let's say on a good day you can write say 50 algorithms, what if you could write 1,000 instead and then the code that's generated is readable.
So the first problem is being able to write code based on human thinking as opposed to machine thinking. The second problem is generating readable code. The third problem is that the code that's generated is composed of reusable code.
The fourth problem is creating structure for software so that managing the complexity is easier.
I eventually decided that only Lisp could so what I want to make it work.
The point is that the algorithm engine will make it possible for programmers to write code once and not spend time optimizing their code and fixing bugs. Fixing bugs and looking for them consumes too much time.
I was reading about the software bugs that cost billions
and years of snags in the F-22 jet so I decided that I'd "discover" a way to solve the problem of writing code faster, making code more manageable, and making (most of all) source code readable and reusable.
