The Fall of Eclipse
http://movingfulcrum.com/the-fall-of-eclipse
Prashant Deva. Creator DripStat. The Fall of Eclipse. How did the once King of Java IDEs get here? If there is one single point in time that can be attributed to the demise of Eclipse, its the launch of Eclipse 4. Eclipse was tiding along nicely during the Eclipse 3.x era, dominating all the dev tools, when all of a sudden it decided to commit suicide. It committed the sin of rewriting all its UI code which, as Joel Spolsky has warned. Can result in death (and it did). 3 Not a product. Eclipse.org al...

Why Vesper really failed
http://movingfulcrum.com/why-vesper-really-failed
Prashant Deva. Creator DripStat. Why Vesper really failed. Notes app has failed. He recently wrote a long blog post. About what he think is the root cause. Gruber mostly blames the App Store economy for the failure of Vesper. The market for paid productivity apps for iOS is simply too difficult. However, I don't think that is the root cause here. Here are my thoughts on why it failed:. 1 Limited to iPhone. There is no way a 'Notes' app that limited your data to the phone was ever going to be successful.

Isn't this how MineCraft makes you addicted too? In NMS, your only reward is seeing stats for your items in...

RethinkDB Failure: Product, not Marketing
http://movingfulcrum.com/rethinkdb-failure-engineering-not-marketing
Prashant Deva. Creator DripStat. RethinkDB Failure: Product, not Marketing. Both RehinkDB and MongoDB started in the same year, and raised similar amount of seed funding. However, RethinkDB is dead. Many attribute this to better marketing on Mongo's part. Looking deeper though, it seems its the core RethinkDB product to blame for its failure. 1 No official Java driver till Dec, 2015. Got around to having a C# driver. 2 No Java POJO conversion library. With RethinkDB, we found no such thing. The only ...

The Current State of VR mess
http://movingfulcrum.com/the-current-state-of-vr-mess
Prashant Deva. Creator DripStat. The Current State of VR mess. Having tried all 3 VR systems for a good period of time, I can say that each one has atleast one big flaw at the moment. As of writing this, Oculus is the only system on the market that doesn't have hand tracking. Who would have thought the VR pioneer would end up having the most backward system. Can't wear glasses with headset, which is a huge issue. Price is too high since it requires you buying a whole new PC. The issue of content. Fact is...

Microsoft Teams: The opposite of Slack
http://movingfulcrum.com/microsoft-teams-the-opposite-of-slack
Prashant Deva. Creator DripStat. Microsoft Teams: The opposite of Slack. Microsoft Teams is not designed to be sold to the same people as Slack. Slack is sold bottom-up. Its a solid product. Its designed to get users to try it, like it and buy it when the trial expires. MS doesn't even want you to try it unless you have Office 365. The complete opposite of Slack.
