A regularly published podcast by a self-described hacker, curmudgeon and hacktivist about the practice and profession of programming drawing on over a decade of professional experience and a lifetime spent hacking, the intersection of politics and society with technology and anything else clever, elegant or funny that catches my mind as a die hard technology geek.

    TCLP 2011-04-27 Rant: Innovation Tax (Comment Line 240-949-2638)

    This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command ...

    This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast. The hacker word of the week this week is flash crowd. The feature this week is a rant on the barriers and friction that make up the innovation tax. The idea was really brought to the fore in my mind by a Harvard Business Review piece by James Allworth. A good example of the thought process of risk averse dominant incumbents was encapsulated in the recent interview with Francis Ford Coppola to which Cory on BoingBoing linked.
