Came across an interesting strategy document from Joel Spolsky on
commoditizing your complements today. I thought I had read all of Joel's older
stuff, but somehow I missed this one.
It struck me that we are trying to do exactly that with the Outpost/Embedlet
project. We want to commoditize embedded software development process.
Interesting! His comments about Sun's Java quandry also are relevant, since
our approach also has the chance of commoditizing the proprietary hardware
that has been typically used in embedded solutions, as a side-effect of using
Java as the platform.
