The Business of Code, The Code of Business
Blogged about “The Business of Code, The Code of Business” yesterday on the Google Code blog. “The Business of Code” part talks about how the economics of being an independent software company are being transformed by the web and by cloud computing, potentially limiting the number of opportunities available. “The Code of Business” part addresses how the structure of industries and corporations is being transformed, which provided a countervailing force that is likely to create some very exciting opportunities.
As an aside, the post title is inspired by one of my favorite quotes. Italo Calvino in The Uses of Literature described Roland Barthes as possessing “the pleasure of intelligence and the intelligence of pleasure.”
