In that post, I address much more than just "to work at G or not". I address the general tendency/evolution of the internet, and how I'm unhappy with it.
Re: "video is a solved problem is hilarious": yes, thanks, I'm aware of the codec mess, and I've been advocating for free and open codecs/protocols for a long while. I know computers still generally suck at extracting info from something audio-visual, etc - heck, the post is already too long, do you really expect me to cover all that?
But, again, see the bigger picture. For me, it's a solved problem because most people in most situations can watch whatever they feel like on whatever platform (except for long movies but, again, not because of a tech hurdle). It's solved as compared to, for example, collaborative music recording, with web technologies, multitrack, decentralized, with an easy merging process (the typical use case is producing an acoustic cover of some mainstream track.)
There's so much more I wanted to cover and didn't - if you have particular questions I'll try to answer them here, or if you want to reach out, send it my way at amos@movies.io
