How Software Companies Die

I came across a great short essay that hit home with me regarding programmers, software companies, and their interaction, and it happens to be written by Orson Scott Card, who just happens to be the greatest author of all time! Of particular interest is the Ender's Game series by Card, which is one of the greatest stories I've ever read and probably had a great deal to do with who I am today. Anyways, check it out at the following address:
