Beating the averages

This reading was interesting because it shows how by being an “expert” into one important thing in your organization you can beat everyone, it is just one example but it is a great example because it gives a great perspective and reasons of why it works and why sometimes you have to take chances if you know you have a great idea, in our business it is crucial for companies to find something to differentiate themselves and to give them edge in the market and in this instance lisp was that.

As the previous reading, it is important to note that each language has its own strengths and weaknesses and in this case, everything that paul says confirms this that they made their choice of language based on the advantages that lisp would bring to them and it gave them a clear advantage over their competitors because they were doing something different.

I is amazing how they made the right choice by using a non-mainstream language to develop their product, a product so well made that their costumers loved using it and paid for it so this just shows how important it is to use your knowledge to accomplish your goals and trust that if you use a great tool you will get a great product.

Lastly the most important part in the reading is that they made an evaluation of everything and they did chose lisp because it was the best option, obviously the y were both comfortable working on it but the important part is that they knew it was the best choice based on its design and everything it gave to their product, it made their decision easier and we all should try to do this in our projects.
