Agreed! Email is the Donald Trump of technologies! I've emailed, and gotten answers from, CEOs, investors, celebrities, open source geniuses and all kinds of people who in real life are surrounded by body guards and administrative staff do block contact.
It's amazing how big a reach a well crafted and intelligent email has.
- chistev 7mo agoI don't get the Donald Trump analogy
- nticompass 7mo ago> the Donald Trump of technologies Outdated, and in need of replacing? Unfit for the position? A poor choice? --- WTF are you trying to say? Are you for or against email? You say it's awful, then say it's amazing, I'm confused.
- cornyhorse 7mo agoObviously, they mean “well crafted and intelligent.” /s
- Natfan 7mo agoi would argue that they mean "transparent" and "easy to engage with", both of which just seem to be propaganda to my eyes.
- mghackerlady 7mo agoI mean perhaps its me being cynical but I read it as meaning the ability for idiots to rub shoulders with giants
- Natfan 7mo agoi was trying to take their comment in good (relative) faith, but obviously if they're not going to elaborate, anyone is free to draw their own conclusions!
- dijit 7mo agoReading charitably I think he means that it's a shortcut to gaining influence. In the boomer sense of "go to the store and ask if they need help". Trump "pushes" his way into things (because he's a disgusting bully), but it largely works. I think the parent meant it in this way, that email pushes its way into peoples private box, but this is probably same as actually sending a letter to someone.
