It makes you feel like once you start typing something, you have to at least send something, even if you change your mind about replying.
And I’m always skeptical of these “I invented it” type posts. The talk command on Unix actually allowed you to see what the other person was typing in real time, letter by letter.
- hkon 6y agoYes, used to feel like that. Now I have become numb. To everyones frustration except myself.

FYI: I know most of the celebrity nerds in Silicon Valley, and generally the technical origin stories you hear about are actually true. The most inaccurate stories are around who cofounders are - one is invariably "left out" later on. (See the recent reddit news.) Because of my knowledge of above, when I worked at a unicorn and saw a slide listing 4 cofounders, and asked where the 4th one was, got silence. :)
