Just looked into this and signed up, I'm 127,000 in queue for access, any chance you would be willing to help with a referral code?

"It will come back to me soon."
Instead of "I can't remember."
Help with this scenario, I use this inner dialogue as a generative command, I say it gently and with trust in the innate wisdom of my consciousness and sure enough within a minute or two this command runs in the background and then what I'm looking for will become present in my mind. (I learnt this from The Silva Method). I'm curious about this kind of inner pattern, what other generative inner commands and questions work for you?

Agreed this is exactly the line of inquiry needed Dave. The Boring Company while novel, does not seem to be a representative "first principles" approach Elon has taken with other problems, it's we have cars how do we move more of them faster. I lived in London 10 years and happily moved from home, work, social activity on trains and buses very easily and happily.
It's either you move to it, or it moves to you, or change the game so you don't need to physically move to be effective/productive/social i.e. remote work, home delivery, VR socialising.
The Boring tunnel network - tunnel network as a service? TNaaS would be great for an automated freight and home delivery network, kind of like the modern scaled up pneumatic tube delivery system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd58w0CXQrM I can imagine Amazon scaling this up.

Yes would also love subtasks, start with a skeleton then add the detailed meat of the work like how the interface works with https://workflowy.com

Oh I see, my misunderstanding, thanks.

Ok, if you can't relay it internally where is best to ask?

Hi John,
I've spoken with a few of the devs in our team having trouble with VS 2015 update 3 crashing. They'd love to switch to VSCode but ask:
1. When is there going to be decent C#/razor-intellisense, a razor generator ?
2. Will there be TFS integration (not git)?

This is a really inspiring idea. The activation energy to pull it off is high though.
There is a Loomio group of people already getting organised around this https://www.loomio.org/d/3XinMm75/buy-twitter

I'll add that when I see no Pricing page it causes me suspicion, what's the catch? how am I being dataminded?
I'd at the least explain somewhere on the page how pricing works or how this is free and funded.

Very nice.
I recognise you can't auto unlike everything.
On click can you shift the page a set number of vertical pixels to the next like button. Then I can just click to unlike in rapid succession.

Great write up, I did the Forum in 2012 and got a huge amount from it. I've "enrolled" about 10 people over the last 2 years to also do the Forum and they in turn may have also brought other people to do the Forum. The technology is powerful, it works and so does their growth mechanisms. There is nothing more powerful than a friend recommending and inviting you to use/buy a product or service that's why the Net Promoter score (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_Promoter) is such a valued metric by brands.
In addition the value you get from having your friends/colleagues/family also do the Forum increases the subsequent value you as an individual get from it as you have a common understanding, language, world-view and an environment that demands integrity, empathy, accountability and performance.

This is very nice. I'm curious about your technology stack for putting this all together, if you wouldn't mind sharing some behind the scenes I'd be most grateful.
