That's such a great quote! Before I came on board at my current job the teams would occasionally create 350mb (embedded videos, etc), multi-hour PowerPoint presentations used for showing business users what their team had been doing and what was on their road map. Needless to say, attendance to these presentations was abysmal and people would play mobile games and catch up on email for the duration. When I came on we switched to a new system where each lead engineer got 5 index cards and could prepare main points and notes on there, and could otherwise only do live demos of the products for showing things off. I found that with the PowerPoints they would spend hours on designing the slides, read directly off of them, and often include way, way too much detail for business users. The new system is going great, and I wish I had done that in my college career. And slightly off-topic: the Carl Hayden story is just so damn awesome. I think the whole story shares some lessons about building a product. I'm looking forward to the movie.
