I too have some resistance to the notion that we will see AGI at a higher level than humans within 50 years. I don't think the arguments he has make any sense. The technology simply did not exist and we're improving on so many fr

The app was essentially what Slack does today. It was built to compete with Campfire and Hipchat (the new kid on the block) and the mission of the product was to be the most extensible group chat application. Within a month we had paying c

I know of no other domain where it is expected that you learn on the job and don't come pre-built with all the necessary knowledge to perform on day one. If you are doing 15$ an hour ask for some place that will hire you for 20$ at the
