One day a deer friend, and brilliant engineer, called me. He asked if he could come see me at my office in San Francisco. Surprised at what this could be I simply said yes. He arrived, we chatted. He showed me his plane ticket. He quit his job that day, and that evening he was flying abroad to become a monk. Haven't talked with him in a decade. Hope he is doing well!

Truly a boomer opinion. Respect!

Why do I feel like a regulator would immediately file a suit for $1B+ if Waymo did this?

So, you’re telling me Twitter engineering was over staffed…

Ahh yea, it has nothing to do with the massive amount of crime, violence, decay and grift by those enabling it.

A person can be both ‘rich’ and want better for the community they choose to be part of.

Agreed.

Also, who thought it would be a great product improvement to update as you are launching a call?

In addition, a few more things that suck about Zoom:

- No I don't want my screen to go to Zoom/fullscreen when someone shares their screen

- When the call ends, just end. Don't show me anything more with zoom, or make my screen go to a zoom/call ended modal.

1 click on/ 1 click off. Just be simple!

The article suggests that makers tend to take on ambitious projects that take large blocks of time to complete. This is objectively true; even today. Most of what is built is ambitious or takes large chunks of time.

Editing some text or repositioning a button or something trivial is 30-min and does not require thought, but most everything is not this. Most everything involves large chunks of time and interrupting this chunk is certainly a disaster.

Most meetings can be done async with a few bullet points. So much time wasted on idle talk that is not productive.
