I would suggest we make a monthly of these as they provide important insight into industries.
- misiti3780 10y agothat is a great idea!
- takinola 10y agoYep, I was reading through the discussion in your post and thought it would be interesting to shake that tree once more so I reposted the question.
- ThomPete 10y agoGreat to hear. I got so exited about the thread and it made me realise something very interesting which I turned into an essay. I call it looking for hidden problems underneat obvious solutions. https://medium.com/black-n-white/the-problem-with-problems-47ee63bb3511#.izv1qx34b https://medium.com/black-n-white/the-problem-with-problems-4...
- 33W 10y agoDo the problems change rapidly enough for the monthly discussion to be radically different than before? Perhaps Quarterly?
- Styx- 10y agoWell, I'm sure you would still get different people commenting due to one set being home on a Friday night one month and then a different set the next. I would prefer monthly, personally.
- pj_mukh 10y agoSeconded. Might even help us get out of the mindset of building things for other 20-somethings to replace their moms.
- ThomPete 10y agoExactly. The whole point is to get access to people with insights about an industry and who can point to the problems and why they haven't been solved and connect them with people who might have solutions to those problems. Just imagine how much valuable knowledge and insights get lost every time someone retires.
- pj_mukh 10y agoP.S: I love using all the things that replace my mom and fully support them being built. But, there's obviously other problems to solve.
