A decade ago, developers built information-sharing software by writing a lot of custom code in a single code base, then adding layers of caching. Now we build information systems: interdependent software and services, data platforms, and event streams. Many of our software-to-systems initiatives fail, though, and when they do, we double down on traditional linear approaches. But linear thinking cannot resolve systems challenges. We need to shift to systems thinking.

The Apple II was a versatile piece of hardware, but its most compelling story isn't found in the feat of its engineering, the personalities of Apple's founders, or the way it set the stage for the company's multibillion-dollar future. Instead, historian Laine Nooney shows, what made the Apple II iconic was its software.

The HTTP 417 (Expectation Failed) is one of the status codes on the internet and it indicates that the expectation given in the request’s Expect header field (Section 5.1.1) could not be met. In the case of a start-up, the company expects someone to pay them. This payment can be in form of outright purchase or monthly or annual subscription or both. The Customer also has an expectation.
