> Sure, there's places where it's good, but it's always a balance - and large mailing lists are often a poor place for actual discussion and instead just get flooded with what ends up being "spam" to many viewers - being things unrelated to your own work that takes energy to filter through and pull out the chunks that are more relevant. In my experience there's few "large" email groups people actually look at, while most are pushed by an automated filter to whatever subfolder they never look at, so there's zero point to them still being on the email group. Anything possibly relevant will be missed anyway. > Emails being push rather than pull means you can't self-filter as easily - something more like a company forum may be better than email groups as it finer grained categorization than emails, while still being visible to anyone if there ends up being useful discussions between groups which wouldn't be the case if you had a thousand different email groups. I mean its stated fairly clearly that CEO reads these emails or rather randomly picks some to read every day. It seems you're arguing based on some hypothetical view of Nvidia divorced from what the linked text and other comments state Nvidia actually runs like. I don't think it's fruitful to have a discussion where you simply make up something in your head and then argue based on that.
