Jobs and Gates were both involved in making things (they're both geniuses). I'm being very simplistic in my arguments - I've tried to shy away from saying things like "visionary" because they tend to be inflammatory.

In this context John McCarthy founded the term "Artificial Intelligence", and then well he was at Dartmouth college he organised and funded a conference that is...

Why didn't Bill Gates make a new CPU? Obviously because people work on the things they're good at. Jobs was good at working on products for regular people to use. I wasn't saying Symbolics would've been better had they been led by Jobs. I'm saying it would've been better if they had great leadership that could do for ...

It simplifies a lot. "Let's get on the phone at 1500". Is that my time or your time? No time zones, no question - everyone agrees. Sure, you'll still have to take different working schedules into account, but you can easily state what those schedules are, and such statements are trivially unambiguous.

I agree that the rewritten piece of code is better because we gain experience on the framework we used. However, even if you have time, it is difficult to convince your boss to allow you to rewrite it again. Version 1 is not buggy, but only in bad smell.
