He’s coming from a brief stint at Twitter and long stints at Facebook and Microsoft. What could he know about building something unambiguously good for the world?

- happytoexplain 4y agoI don't read that as implying he believes his previous employers built such products. He is in fact emphasizing the rarity of such a thing, and I agree with him.
- skrtskrt 4y agoNo it doesn’t read that way, but it raises the question of whether he really knows what an unequivocally good tech product is and whether he will stoutly refuse to compromise for the sake of growth. I think any amount of time as a corporate decisionmaker can skew your moral compass, and he was at three companies that have history of being particularly damaging
