James Huff :prami_pride:<p>“On January 22, 1998, <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Netscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Netscape</span></a> announced its ‘bold plans to make the source code for the next generation of its highly popular Netscape Communicator client software available for free licensing on the Internet.’ This was the beginnings of <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mozilla</span></a>, a non-profit organization that was unveiled at the end of March 1998. […] For much of the year, <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> was merely an academic project. It gathered some attention, including from Danny Sullivan’s Search Engine Watch, but to break through, Google had to become a company and move off Stanford's web servers. So on September 4, 1998, founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin filed for incorporation.”</p><p><a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/internet-1998/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cybercultural.com/p/internet-1</span><span class="invisible">998/</span></a></p>

One former Netscape employee insisted Marc didn't steal code for Netscape, that those claims were false and had been litigated (they were never litigated), and that Marc "changed" but as someone who went to a couple talks from his former academic colleagues, no this is who he is, who he always was, and none of this is surprising.</p><p>And they were saying this in the 90's, but nobody listened.</p><p><a href="https://retrogaming.social/tags/MarcAndresson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarcAndresson</span></a> <a href="https://retrogaming.social/tags/Netscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Netscape</span></a></p>
Wolf<p>For all <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a>, I just want to reinforce one very important rule: your plan must never be to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Rewrite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rewrite</span></a> it from scratch. I've seen this tried many times. This is what killed <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Netscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Netscape</span></a>. They had a plan, the engineers nixed it. We explained to management that what they were suggesting was two years of work. Rick Gessner exercised all his sway on the higher-ups. Integrating his new style and rendering engine became the plan again. We didn't release the version that was ready. Instead, we worked for two years to do the thing they wanted, with no releases during that time. It was a bad decision.</p><p>Step-by-step. No matter how bad you think it is: step-by-step.</p>

Er zeichnet unter einem historisch materialistischem Blick die Entwicklung der ersten, unter fast urkommunistischen Bedingungen entstandenen, Browser bis zu ihrer killerischen Annektierung nach; ehe er dann von den Legenden um die beiden großen Browserkriege berichtet und ein kolonialistisches Kapitel von Navigator, Explorer und Eroberer aufmacht.
