OP here. This is part of a new in-depth interview series with founders. Would love any thoughts/feedback.

Thanks for the post. I run The Observer Effect, would love any feedback or questions!

Interviewer here. Thanks for the post. It was a lot of fun to ask Marc about his productivity routine, how he spends time, how he makes decision and his "build" essay.

I came here to ask the same thing!

I just noticed who the OP is. Kind of cool to see Ray active on HN!

Absolutely do. Ex-MSFTer. This exactly fits with the kind of behavior you see from him internally.

I can testify to this. I'm 6'6, turned 30 recently and developed chronic back pain which made walking/standing for over 15-20 minutes painful. I got frustrated and started going to the gym again and doing very basic deadlifts/leg presses/lunges a few times a week. It's been a couple of months and my back is about 70-80% better.

FWIW, I think Nathan will make a fascinating commencement speaker. He gets a lot of flak (rightfully) for Intellectual Ventures but he has a lot of success in multiple unrelated fields (cooking! archaeology! Microsoft).

You mean when Netflix streaming started - they've been around for a long time doing DVDs :).
