Akio Morita (Sony co-founder) on why he ignored market research:
"The public does not know what is possible, but we do... we refine our thinking on a product... and try to create a market for it by educating the public."
This is the opposite of how most tech is built today (validate, A/B test, iterate). It's arrogant. It's risky. It also gave us the Walkman.
Is this approach dead, or do we need more of it?

There is nothing like exploring new markets using well-refined tools. I am enjoying fine-tuning the strategies in our portfolio to the new tones of the crypto markets.
Trading in the synthesised agent-based crypto markets is liberating. You can be brave in experimenting and push the strategies to their limits.
Love it!

For old timers and youngsters eager to learn, here is an amazing Game Source Code collection. I admire the effort a large group of people made to put it together for future generations.
It's a huge 1.2TB archive on the Internet Archive, containing source code from the 1970s to today.
This is an absolute goldmine.

In the mid-80s, the microcomputer world was mostly flat. Single-tasking. One thing at a time.
Then Gary Kildall showed multiple screens, multiple tasks – on limited hardware.
He called it “mainframes coming down to your desk.”
We take multitasking for granted. He had the courage to build one of the first.
The rest is history. But here’s where it started.
There is a quiet joy in colors — small shifts in tone, big shifts in feeling. 🎨
