There are lots of independent systems integrated, drive by wire - whether it's steering, throttle, etc. means there are going to be more and more corner cases that can't be recreated in test environments no matter how sophisticated the resources. There are just too many variables and each system is independently tested but it's when you bring all these systems together that cause weird issues. People will just have to be much more diligent about reporting the issues to the dealer, to the extent that dealers should offer rewards for people who are among the first to report a problem that results in a recall.

We've reached the tipping point, things can instantly scale to enormous levels causing much disruption, so much that even cash can't be assembled fast enough to act on it.

So what happens, cash becomes a limiting factor in real progress and what stands as a barrier to real innovation.

We're no longer going to need cash if it's based on a flawed system, banks.

There is no doubt a huge shift happening and it's exciting to see such disruption happening because that's when the good stuff rises to the top.

I had a great discussion here in Seattle with one of the investors in Zynga, and I'd love to have had more time getting into it because the information was, well, as interesting as Google probably was when they started.

My notes from this post:

1. Books are fine for getting the big picture, and to reference as needed.
2. Ruby on Rails will get your prototype up and running very fast.
3. There's no better way to get started than to just start trying it.

This reignited my interest in Rails, I need to do this but have very little time. I spent about an hour last night watching a Rails 101 video and its funny how much more I understand today than I did a year ago.

I'm convinced that if I just get it setup, and can get an app running on my Macbook Pro then I'll be able to tinker around with apps I need to build. The problem is I've always had issues trying to get a good local development environment setup. I've tried Eclipse, Aptana, and last night I installed Rubymine. I think what's been frustrating has been I've just tried to dive right in and those tools are really powerful, so now I'm going to be a little more careful about setting it up.

It would be a real help to have a beginners tutorial on setting up a Rails app on a mac using one of those editors. I've gone through some of the little command line ruby programs, but thats not cool enough, I want to be able to setup the app running on a server with a database. I have ruby code in github so I want to take that and build it on my local machine to start messing around with it.
