Slower clap...
He also had this hilarious policy / agreement with ACM to have some kid giving him a new glass of tea every 1.4 minutes or something. It was petty and weird.
All under the guise of "changing the world" or "disrupting". IMO, people who take time to think about things and implement solutions at a reasonable pace are just as productive if not more productive than people who feel like they always have to be "pushing".
I say this as someone who saw him talk to my cambridge / boston area university's ACM group, afterwords he bummed a ride from my friend back to MIT. He dismissed most questions from students and while we were riding back in my friend's car (with Richard Stallman in the front seat) he basically didn't answer any questions and just argued semantics.
I love Richard Stallman and what he stands for, but I think we need to re-evaluate how we digest and understand his opinions on computing in current times.
Franklins is good - but I sure as hell wouldn't wait hours in line for their brisket...
