I stumbled across this older article while researching the Alan Kay quote that is also the title. It happened to apply very well to the blog series I'm writing for the startup I work for. The whole company started as one person's research project, and eventually made it to a tin startup launching a hardware+software product this year. Alan Kay was right (no surprises there); if you're serious about software, make your own hardware.
