I think we are applying the wrong model here. We should not try to force-fit an app store model. A more applicable model is that of a decentralized internet and intranet. As in the case of intra-net, even though there were no visible benefi

Thank you for building it! This is super useful. I have always been frustrated with not having access to a clean calendar, given that I use mac os (for personal stuff) and windows (for work). Apple built-in calendar app and Outlook calenda

It took me 10 min to see that he is talking about the game and not the language. There is even a "Endgame Pointers" chapter in this book :).

I don't think that's a conspiracy. Motivations there, however misplaced they may be, are quite clear.

That's an interesting perspective. I have never found him arrogant. May be I have not watched the video clips or read tweets that you were exposed to. He does have a counter intuitive take on things, but don't think that come off

I agree that is a concern with a US centric team. Imagine a globally distributed team - 3 engineers are in Asia pacific region, 2 in Europe and 2 in US. Everyone in the team is equally affected by timing constraints and language barriers, s

This will fuel the "remote anywhere" trend that's already underway. If a H1b engineer in US suppresses wage growth, wait until the same engineer can do the work for 1/3rd the cost from his own country, especially when ev
