>90% of what matters today

Strikes me as the kind of thing where that last 10% will need 400 papers




"The first 90% is easy. It's the second 90% that kills ya."


"All projects are divided into three phases, each consisting of 90% of the work."

-- just about everything I've shipped :-)


For the last 10% you'll need to write a paper yourself.


Along with the kind of details and tacit knowledge that never makes it into papers...


maybe thats the part he intends to deviate. he just doesnt need to reinvent the settled science.
