"As a functional building block programming seems feature complete" This might be one of the more fascinating things I've read in a long time. Care to expand upon? Would be genuinely curious.

I'll lend to that. If you use Edmund Burke as the yardstick, calling her conservative is defensible because she believed complex social orders evolve from the bottom up vs grand schemes. My thought is she generally applied this thinkin

Similar to Ed Glaeser. I've spent a lot of time with Ed, I'm for sure a socialist, he's very right leaning, yet Ed and I always have great conversations, and funnily: Ed thinks Jane is great. Highly recommend Eds books, I sta

WebRTC is amazing! I think it might be helpful for some younger folks if you talked about UDP, I realize it's maybe a bit "weird" - however coming from the UDP world helped me think about all the ways WebRTC can be used. I th
