Speaking to my friends who worked at Yahoo, the place seemed to be not very different from Netscape (Producers running projects, (towards the end) not necessarily having the best engineers on staff, PHBs gone wild, etc.). While Netscape was crushed by a 362 Kg Gorilla, that Yahoo survived seemed more a matter of luck than flawless execution to me. Thaths -- Homer: Ee-van eht niojh -- you gotta love that crazy chorus.
