While I agree with most of this I think it's somewhat too strict. For many people their twenties is the only time they will have time, money and vigour. If you get the chance you s…

Why not use git?

It would be more interesting if people could reply why they disagree. I'm not the first one to come to this conclusion, hemlis is a public example. You simply can't compete with la…

A feature like this doesn't really matter in the context of competing with mainstream messaging services because their value is to a large extent in things like brand and network e…

History shows us that you can't compete by being a lesser version of something else. There's nothing wrong with trying to make the application more attractive, but at the same time…

I personally don't think the sentiment of "8 Christmases", as presented in the essay, is that helpful. The solution to scarcity isn't to rely on a few moments, nor necessarily to "…

Sort of expected a better interview when I heard "The National Press Club". This is mostly "What do you think about x? I think this and that" read from notes.

It's much harder to have a killer app when the technology isn't universally appealing yet. When (if) you can get 8k high frame rate displays, gigabit+ internet connection and bette…

Sure, or if you find a way to find certain vulnerabilities quicker. A bug with 5 year life span that you can find in 1 month doesn't require you to find them too frequently and mor…

I wouldn't say "all projects". The statement is based on that they introduce and remove vulnerabilities at a certain rate. A project that introduces less vulnerabilities or finds t…
