I wish there was a better way to preserve the kind of institutional knowledge that is necessary to do cool stuff. It’s insane to think of all the effort spent to relearn the basic knowledge we once had (e.g. relearning how to build complex hardware because a prior company went out of business), and that all this accumulated knowledge can be lost when a company or organization goes under. I think part of the reason this happens is because of an over-reliance on textual documents and informal processes that are hard for the next generation to uncover or dig through in short amounts of time.
