#OpenSource #BuildYourOwn #Tractor: Ex-#Marine #Software #Engineer #Builder #Entrepreneur Says: Do The Right Thing! : ‘A former IBM engineer is building open-source #tractors for the masses in hopes of changing how #food is grown and who grows it.’:
How above simple Difference in Thinking about #Business and #Customers can Lead a Company like Dell Technologies started in a dorm by #MichaelDell generate 2022 Revenue of over $101 Billion compared to #IBM with same figure for $57.35 Billion:

If we do the right thing, that’ll be John Deere 10 years from now.

AIMLExchange.com: With IBM and Dell Technologies being both our Supply Chain partners, we love all of them and want all of them to do well by learning from each other while leading their respective missions, as all of us can. Most of all, we love the #Spirit of #Founders & #Entrepreneurs as the #PrimeMover without which we would not have any companies to talk of as there won’t be any, from the gritty #CanDo #Startups to the Mega-#Corporations.

‘The founder of #RonnieBaughTractors in Paint Rock, Alabama learned an invaluable lesson as a marine in the Vietnam War: If you believe something’s impossible, you’re dead… #HoraceClemmons, now 79, says that advice not only kept him alive in the #war; it’s also the driving force behind his current effort to #reinvent an #industry now dominated by corporate giants like John Deere and AGCO Corporation.’

The goal is to try to convince everybody else they can make these things… All you need is two jack stands and somebody that can turn a wrench and somebody that can weld, and you’re in business making your own tractor.

Clemmons worked for IBM in the 1970s as an early software engineer, but his success came after he left that job and founded the first cash register company to use open-source software.

I said at the time I left IBM, ‘I will create a business unlike IBM,’ Clemmons said. People will not do business with me because they have to. They will do business with me because they want to.

Everything that goes into a tractor is somewhat cheap and widely available. If someone can’t afford the $22,000 sticker price, Clemmons will sell them the plans to build their own. Its “open system design” is a far cry from the patented and proprietary technology of a #JohnDeere.

Silicon Valley's 'Next Big Thing': "Do Something Epic: Save the World™": "Venture capitalist Roger McNamee recently implored Silicon Valley to embrace human-driven social networks that empower rather than exploit users as the Next Big Thing. Having pioneered such networks, we were invited to guide Silicon Valley three decades or so ago on building Digital enterprises for the Wild Wild Web*. Today, we are ready to again lead Silicon Valley to further advance human-driven technologies in collaboration with the AFRL..." - Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, Founder, AWS-Quantum Valley™: BRINT.com Know-Build-Monetize™ Networks: YM-ABC™: YogeshMalhotra.com: AIMLExchange.com : BRINT.com : C4I-Cyber.com
