I feel the statement "autistic people will never write a poem" may be trivially true, because (I suspect) many people will never write a poem. The implication that this is invalid or wrong is perverse. And the fact that now we hav

The MVP shows if the idea would get traction. But what good is an idea that gets traction if it is unfeasible to scale, or the organisation is not willing to support it. I think this is what google does with many of its products that end up

What do you mean? The article is about how they got FDA approval... Isn't that the way to go? As in, it's a much higher bar than having a medical license and insurance no?

I think they expect to lose some talented employees who may look to move away. They are offering to help those who want to move to not loose talent. I don’t see anything else. Maybe they are factually wrong and no one wants to move away and
