Daily Vlog Episode #11 ✨ 1. Resolved two customer issues      1. A customer emailed that they were not able to access their DevKit Pro subscription. Debugged and fixed the issue. The Login with Email feature I pushed earlier had introduced a bug.   2. Someone got accidentally charged. Their subscription was not canceled properly so I refunded their charge and I made sure their subscription was canceled completely. 2. Read through an article titled [The Work that Lasts](https://lnkd.in/grsjvZaJ) from the Long Now Foundation. My twitter friend @Monarch_sv had shared it.      1. It described how a lot of great artists have the dedication to spend decades on a single project. For example, Micheal Heizer’s City project took about 50 years to complete (1972-2022). Similarly many other artists have been working on projects for decades.   2. Loved the ending thought that maybe it’s the enormity of purpose of the artist and of the huge time invested that gives art projects like these their great weight.   3. Reading this article gave me much needed inspiration that getting your best work out i.e. your magnum opus requires long dedication. Artists pour decades of their lives whole-heartedly so why can’t I also dedicate 5-10 years of my life in building a great company. 3. Scheduled some tweets 4. Read 15 more pages (182-199)   1. Bill Gates one day just wanted to chat with Larry. The 1st meeting took place at Larry’s japanese-style home in Atherton. Larry as usual was telling all about Oracle but he realized that Bill wasn’t just listening but absorbing. He realized Bill is a smart man and he should limit what he speaks in front of him in case he reveals some useful information about Oracle that ends up helping Microsoft a lot.   2. Microsoft’s growth rate had been around the same as Oracle and interestingly they went public almost on the same day. Though Microsoft’s valuation was a couple times more than Oracle’s.   3. Microsoft and Oracle were similar in many ways. Microsoft also didn’t suffer from the not-invented here syndrome. It had bought the DOS OS from someone else and made it a big success. Similarly, it was neither the first to come up with a point-and-click PC software nor it pioneered the use of the WWW but still it made huge commercial success in those markets.   4. Since Oracle sales team had such crazy high targets they ended up using all sorts of hacks to hit their quotas and amass huge commissions. Eg: some people sold software to fake addresses with payment due after a year so they got their commission early on but Oracle couldn’t recover revenue from those deals.   5. Takeaway: Incentives should be well aligned. In addition to hitting quotas, receivability of cash from the customer and customer satisfaction should also have been factored. But probably Oracle needed that beg-borrow-steal attitude to grow that quick. Some bad actors can always creep in no matter how well you setup things.
