UDaniel Stuart Butterfield "Indoda Enezivumelwano Ezimbili Empilweni"

Ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho esebenza kuphrojekthi yezohwebo, wakha okwangempela futhi okuthakazelisa kakhulu kunokuqagela kwasekuqaleni komsebenzi. Ngakho-ke umfundi ophothule ifilosofi futhi wazifundisa usosayensi wekhompyutha owakhulela endaweni yama-hippie wasungula u-Flickr no-Slack futhi wenza ingcebo endleleni.

UBillionaire kanye ne-wunderkind evela eSilicon Valley, UDaniel Stuart Butterfield (1), wazalwa ngo-1973 edolobhaneni elincane lokudoba laseLund, eCanada, lapho abazali bakhe babengabomphakathi wama-hippie. Abazali bakhe bamkhethele igama lesiBuddha elithi Dharma (2) futhi bakhulise indodana yabo ngaphandle kwamanzi, ugesi noma ucingo endlini.

Lapho u-Dharma eneminyaka engu-5 ubudala, baguqula impilo yomfana kanye neyakhe yabheka phansi. Bashiya inkampane yabo futhi bangena ekhaya bayohlala endaweni yedolobha laseVictorian esiqhingini saseVancouver. Bayinika uDharma oneminyaka engu-7 ubudala ikhompuyutha yokuqala, isimangaliso sezobuchwepheshe. Kumfana omncane, leli thuluzi lalifana nokundizela emkhathini ngerokhethi yangasese, into iningi lontanga yakhe elingenakuyifinyelela. Ngenxa yekhompiyutha, uDharma wathuthukisa amakhono akhe obuchwepheshe, wachitha amahora amaningi ukubhala amakhodi.

Wayeba isigebenga, kodwa igama lakhe lobuBuddha lalingahambisani. Lapho eneminyaka engu-12, wanquma ukuthi igama lakhe lalizoba Daniel Stewart. Nangempela abazali bakwamukela. Njengohambo oluya eShayina kanye nezithakazelo zakhe ezintsha, ngenxa yalokho ayeka ikhompyutha okwesikhashana. Butterfield wasungula iqembu le-jazz, futhi umculo wamthatha cishe ngokuphelele.

Ngabuyela ezinhlelweni zami phakathi nezifundo zami. Isazi Sefilosofi Esincane Esinamakhono Okubhala Amakhodi wakha imali ezentengiso сайты, wabe esefunda ngokuzimela uhlelo futhi, njengomfundi wefilosofi, wathola i-akhawunti yakhe yokuqala yegobolondo enokufinyelela kuseva yasenyuvesi. Kodwa okwakuthakazelisa nakakhulu kwakuyifilosofi. Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, wavuma ezintathelini: “Ngenxa yefilosofi, ngafunda ukubhala ngokucacile. Ngafunda indlela yokulandela ingxabano, okuyinto ewusizo kakhulu emihlanganweni. Futhi lapho ngifunda umlando wesayensi, ngafunda ukuthi kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi wonke umuntu akholelwe ukuthi okuthile kuyiqiniso.

Ngo-1996 wathola iziqu ze-bachelor kufilosofi eNyuvesi yaseVictoria, wabe eseqhubeka nezifundo zakhe eNyuvesi yaseCambridge, lapho eminyakeni emibili kamuva. uthole iziqu ze-master in philosophy. Wabhala isihloko mayelana nezimfundiso zikaSpinoza, umcabango wakhe amthandayo. Wayehlela ukwenza iPhD kulo mkhakha lapho umngane wakhe Jason Klasson wamletha ekuqaliseni kwakhe i-Gradfinder.com.

Unyaka wezi-2000 waba unyaka onzima ezinkampanini ezisencane ze-IT. Ukuqhuma kwebhamuza le-inthanethi kunyakazise imboni yezobuchwepheshe esafufusa. UKlasson wathengisa ibhizinisi lakhe, futhi uStewart wabuyela endleleni efakazelwe yokuthola imali futhi waba umklami wewebhu ozimele. Wabe esesungula, phakathi kwezinye izinto, uMqhudelwano Wezimboni we-5K - wamasayithi angaphansi kwamakhilobhayithi angu-5 ngosayizi.

I-Pioneer Web 2.0

Ehlobo lika-2002, uStewart, u-Klasson kanye nonjiniyela we-Netscape, Katerina Fakewasungula iLudicorp. Isikhathi sasisesibi kumaphrojekthi wezobuchwepheshe, futhi abatshalizimali babesabala ukulahlekelwa kwabo. Ozakwethu baqoqe konke ababenakho: imali yabo ababeyilondolozile, umndeni, abangani, amafa kanye noxhaso lukahulumeni. Lokhu bekwanele ukuqasha kanye nomholo kumuntu oyedwa onomndeni. Abanye bekumele bathembele enzuzweni yesikhathi esizayo evela ku-Game Neverending, umdlalo abebesanda kusebenza kuwo.

Iphrojekthi ayizange iqedwe. Isiqalo besiyidinga kakhulu imali. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho uStuart eqhamuke khona nombono ohlakaniphile nolula - ukudalwa kwesayithi lokwethulwa kwezithombe. Uhlelo, nokho, oludinga ukuthuthukiswa, lwaluvele lukhona. Isetshenziswe enkampanini ukwabelana ngezithombe phakathi kwabasebenzi. Wazalwa kanjalo Flickr (3). Ipulatifomu yathola ukuthandwa ngokushesha phakathi kwama-blogger nabathwebuli bezithombe abangochwepheshe, kwase kuba abathanda ukuthwebula izithombe. Ukukhula okuguquguqukayo kokuthandwa kwesayithi kwaholela ekutheni iphrojekthi ibe nenzuzo, futhi iqembu labantu abangu-9 ekugcineni bathola imali ngomsebenzi wabo.

I-Flickr, enikeze abasebenzisi ukulawula okwengeziwe kusizindalwazi esikumawebhusayithi, isiphenduke uphawu lokusungula kanye Iwebhu 2.0. Ngo-2005, ngemva konyaka i-Flickr yenziwe yatholakala kubasebenzisi be-inthanethi, Yahoo uthenge isiza ngamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-30. Bobabili uStewart noKaterina Fake, ababengumbhangqwana ozimele ngaleso sikhathi, baqhubeka nokuqhuba uFlicker njengabasebenzi bakwaYahoo. Bahlala kule corporation isikhathi esingaphansi kweminyaka emibili. I-Yahoo ibonakale ingumshini onamandla wokuphatha, futhi uStewart wancamela ukusebenza yedwa.

Waqala ukusebenza komunye umsebenzi ngaphansi kwezimo ezihluke ngokuphelele. Phambilini ngo-2005, uButterfield waqanjwa njengomunye wabaholi “abaphezulu abangama-50” ngumagazini iBusinessweek, kanti i-MIT Technology Review yambiza ngomunye wabasunguli abaphambili abangama-35 emhlabeni abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-35. Ngonyaka olandelayo waletha imvula yezindondo. Ufakwe ohlwini lwabantu abangu-100 abanethonya kakhulu emhlabeni. Isikhathi, futhi i-Newsweek yabeka isithombe sakhe kukhava.

Ngakho kulokhu igama laseButterfield lalisho impumelelo kanye nokuzethemba kwabatshalizimali. Wakhuphula kalula u-$17,5 million ukuze abone umbono wakhe wangempela womdlalo wewebhu wabadlali abaningi. Isiqalo esisha i-Tiny Speck, ngo-2009 wethula abasebenzisi emdlalweni obizwa ngokuthi i-Glitch. Ihehe abasebenzisi abangaphezu kwezinkulungwane eziyi-100, kodwa inzuzo yayidumaza. Nokho, ngendlela, uStuart wayenombono okhaliphile.

Kwaqala ngengxoxo

Le nkampani ibe nengxoxo yangaphakathi yabasebenzi, eyadonsa amehlo akhe. I-Butterfield yahlelwa kabusha yaba yi-Tiny Speck, yakhokhela abasebenzi abathile inkokhelo yokuyeka, futhi yaqala iphrojekthi entsha neqembu elincane. Ukuvilapha. Kulokhu wayenenhloko-dolobha kanye nenduduzo yokuthuthukisa umbono wakhe ngaphandle kwemvume yabaphathi bakhe.

I-Slack yethulwa ngoFebhuwari 2014 futhi ngokushesha yaqashelwa njengethuluzi elilula neliwusizo lokuxhumana enkampanini engadingi izinguquko emsebenzini wenkampani. I-Slack ingasetshenziswa yinkampani yonke noma iqembu elincane labantu abasebenza ndawonye kuphrojekthi. Ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalombili ngemuva kokuqalwa kwayo, i-Slack yalinganiselwa ku-$8 billion. UButterfield utshele izintatheli ukuthi amaholo kaSlack asedlule kaningi kulokho akubheka "njengesimo esihle kakhulu." Esikhathini esingaphansi kweminyaka emibili, i-Slack ibe nabasebenzisi abasebenzayo abangaphezu kwesigidi esingu-1,1 nsuku zonke, okuhlanganisa nabantu abangaphezu kwe-1,25. ama-akhawunti akhokhelwayo, ayenabasebenzi abangu-370 futhi angenisa imali eyizigidi ezingu-230 zamaRandi ngonyaka.

Kulesi sangemuva Impumelelo ye-Flickr kwakungabukeki kuhlaba umxhwele kangako, kodwa eminyakeni eyi-10 edlule babembalwa kakhulu abantu abasebenzisa i-Internet. USlack (4) usephenduke idumela kwezamabhizinisi kangangoba ezinye izinkampani seziqalile ukubiza imiyalezo njengebhonasi uma kuqashwa abasebenzi abasha. Ngo-2019, inkampani yangena emakethe yesitoko, eyazisa isithunywa esidumile sebhizinisi ngama- $ 23 billion. Yini eyenza uSlack waphumelela kangaka? I-Butterfield ayinakungabaza ukuthi isevisi yamakhasimende enhle kakhulu nezibuyekezo zenziwa kucatshangelwa izintandokazi zabasebenzisi engqondweni. UStewart unamahemuhemu okuthi uzophendula yena mathupha kumazwana amakhasimende.

4. Ikomkhulu le-Slack e-San Francisco

"Indlela emisha enkulu kunazo zonke ayiphathelene nenzuzo," kusho uButterfield engxoxweni abe nayo neForbes. “Angikaze ngihlangane noyedwa umsunguli webhizinisi ophumelelayo futhi oqhutshwa yinzuzo kuphela. I-Google's Larry Page kanye no-Sergey Brin, uJerry Yang we-Yahoo! noDavid Filo, akekho noyedwa kubo owaqala ibhizinisi ngoba wayefuna ukuceba."
