Everything is nuanced. People can change their minds. Everyone thinks that their perspective is right and good. It's all stuff we're making up anyway. ❤️

Guess I need to reinstall this app for a sec 🍿

@Kazanjy 💯🤜🤛

@DMBrowers Oh, I mean, I agree with you. This is an age old case of humans continually fail the marshmallow test. They prioritize things that are actually not good for them, long term.

Remote works kills startups.

@Kazanjy Engineers prefer it but, in my experience, the best ideas and leaps forward came when we were all in a room together. Probably a context-specific kind of thing.

Yeah. I tend to agree. Though R&D is the place where it’s least negative as a result of R&D staff being good typers and readers (for asynch comms). And also engineers don’t like face to face communication because it’s exhausting. ; ) This is why the GitHub’s and zapiers and gitlabs and so forth are the standard examples of distributed success. Though fair to point out that figma fucking rekt invision in no small part because invision was distributed and couldn’t react.

@packyM Slow and deliberate is great for hardware. Software, not so much.

Can’t believe OpenAI figured out AGI before Apple figured out how to make Siri do anything

@Kazanjy Agreed. And that communication and coordination overhead has a direct impact on the velocity of innovation on the R&D side.

@DMBrowers They get triggered by it because it offends their current state. It’s ok to prefer a remote startup. Just recognize that you are eating a communication and coordination overhead that likely isn’t made up for by a potential recruiting and retention advantage.

@gregstwiterr 😂 exactly

A lot of y’all don’t have kids and it shows.

The best thing to do with your old digital camera is give it to your kids. So fun to see your world through their POV.

@RootChris Yeah, will do!

@RootChris Ordering. Thanks! 🤜🤛

@RootChris Been wanting to try this. Need details on your rig.

@tszzl Literally every company with some modicum of success has former employees that could write this. It’s how Glassdoor exists.

these lukewarm allegations are honestly kind of funny knowing Sam’s character

@npew Often a strong correlation between the two 👊👊

Low levels of sleep, but insanely high levels of camaraderie.

@rrhoover Rug

OpenAI should be a DAO 😈

@julianweisser Yes. Also…the medium is the message

@TomJWhiteIV Best 27 cents you'll spend all week.

i gave my autogpt autonomous agent a dilapidated toyota camry, some baby formula, and a gun. you won’t BELIEVE what happened next 🤯🤯🤯 read on:

@scottPellett @Plambey No, those were the room names when we were on Ocean Park but they were named after the first two office locations.

@DMBrowers @Plambey We had conference room names when we were above the Apple Store!?!
