Even though every new major technology has led to more jobs at higher wages throughout history, each wave of this panic is accompanied by claims that “this time is different” – this is the time it will finally happen, this is the technology that will finally deliver the hammer blow to human labor. And yet, it never happens.

I tried to work in such a way that I always had a working 3D modeler, and progressively improved it as time allowed. I think about it like building a pyramid.

The reason to launch fast is not so much that it’s critical to get your product to market early, but that you haven’t really started working on it till you’ve launched.

One lifetime wasn’t enough. She probably kinda liked it too. Eventually, hours later, we’d realize the Pandora station had turned off. Are you still there? It would ask.

Perfectly happy, too - I knew there was nothing else in the world I wanted more than what I had right then. Even having her wasn’t enough - like I said, a lifetime wasn’t enough to fit all the love. Now all I’ve got are the memories. Part of me knows you only get one space ship like that in you’re life if you’re lucky.

But even a smart, loving, super attractive sports car… just ain’t a rocket ship
