Alan Kay is still waiting for his dream to come true
I have total respect for Alan Kay but I hope he stops criticizing other people and actually shows his vision through his own execution (and by execution I don&#x27;t just mean invention of a prototype but actual productization and distribution)<p>If you&#x27;re building something visionary and are not the one who&#x27;s making tons of money off of it, you have two solutions:<p>1. IF you&#x27;re interested in making money: Try to figure out what you&#x27;re doing wrong and fix it so you actually CAN capitalize on your original invention<p>2. IF you&#x27;re NOT interested in making money: Enjoy the respect these people pay you and please don&#x27;t badmouth others who worked hard to build important products that changed the world.<p>I feel like Alan Kay is on the second boat, so my heart breaks whenever he badmouths other people who worked hard to build cool things.<p>It doesn&#x27;t matter what came first. What matters is what actually managed to pull off the ultimate success.
