> Cantrill and Frazelle both have created software used by millions.
And yet here they are building a sever hardware company??
> That's like saying Carmack was just trying to cash out his Facebook fame.
Thats an absurd analogy. Carmack is responsible for arguably the most important advancements in video game design. Specifically for code he personally architected and wrote.
For example - Frazelle is one of 1300 contributors (currently 13th in terms of # of commits) to Docker core. Not to diminish her contribution, but these individuals are contributors, not single handed creators (which was implied), of "software used by millions".
For the record - I enjoy Frazelle's content and personality. I wish her the best, but the commentary here is near cultish.
Not sure why you're responding to me specifically, but I agree with your general premise, but disagree with your specific characterization.
The general criticisms here are warranted and I think are constructive enough that they'd be beneficial to these founders and others seeking to do something similar.
