i'm beginning to think that the computing world is composed of two groups, old timers (like me) and super-onliners, and both of us are looking at what each other is doing and going "jesus christ that looks complicated, screw that"

Medusa forgets to disable facial recognition and ruins another iPhone. She tosses it into a drawer with all the other rocks. There’s nothing to be done about it. Everyone’s already dead at the Genius Bar.

Today is the 82nd birthday of Jerry Lawson (died 2011). He is the inventor of the first commercial video game console with CPU processor (Fairchild Channel F).

I don't believe in toxic workaholicism. Your best efforts are possible when your life is in balance. Sleep deprivation has diminishing returns and in the end does more harm than good. Does this make me a bad entrepreneur?
