Sounds like you need to find a renewed sense of motivation and optimism. That's something only you can find and it comes from within. I'd do some soul searching on what makes you happy, or what types of projects, hobbies, scenario

Have you tried consulting? There are tradeoffs but when you get to make your own decisions about the tech being used it at least lets you have a sense of agency and control, and you can pick whatever makes you happy and gets the job done. I

Agree, learned about a part of the world I was completely ignorant of. Must have been a crazy time filming.

Vice was amazing back in the day. I still remember watching the Vice guide to travel - Liberia, and NK episodes. Def opened my eyes a bit and took some courage to film.

Was visualizing the cabin during that last 360 circle, followed by the "slew" maneuver, must have been surreal.

Maybe superficial but it seemed "tacked on" in terms of UI/UX. I don't think most people go to Twitter to read newsletters, and the way it was implemented just felt weird.

Haha ok that makes sense, thanks for clarifying! May I ask, what was it about Google+ that you enjoyed?

That's not really a fair comparison and you know it. Elon Musk, Tesla, etc have proven track records.

While he brings up valid and interesting points to consider, I thought the article was sabotaged by his obvious disdain for Musk. He tried to camouflage it with some initial flattery but then devolved into hyperbole about hyper tunnel and T

The moment a non-tech/non-enthusiast user has to choose a server you already lost them. Same reason IRC never went mainstream.

Funny lately I keep thinking how much I want to get rid of my iphone, or any all-glass phone, and go back to haptic keyboard with minimal screen for basic functions.

Same reason people don't give up their morning latte, a relationship, food, behavior, or anything else that brings them pleasure.

Holtz said last night he does not work for Twitter, and is focused on what he's passionate about which is solving self-driving car automation.

Twitter wasn't built as a community platform. It's always had the user-centric model, which works well for the types of people who helped it gain popularity to begin with, namely journalists, celebrities, politicians, brands, gov

If you're doing it strictly for learning, webrtc might not be bad to dabble with (something I want to do as well). For a real project I'd probably go w/existing solution for early iteration. What'd you use for chat?

Sure, but there are other centralized services not implementing such policies, and I don't think Twitter would exist today in current form if not for being centralized & well funded. I guess there are just tradeoffs in either choic

Thank you! Appreciate that. Hoping to find ways to get the word out and grow the community. So far it's been a fun ride!
