1/ HIGH AGENCY Once you SEE it - you can never UNSEE it. Arguedbly the most important personality trait you can foster. I've thought about this concept every week for the last two years since I heard Eric Weinstein discuss it on Tim Ferriss' podcast. THREAD...

I'm happy to see a lot more open skepticism about microservices in the last year. They're a bad match for most systems, but programmers (and especially programmers' career aspirations) love complexity.

Wow! maxar to be acquired by private equity fund Advent International.

Interesting take on the maxar go private transaction

No one in this industry celebrates launch failures. Thoughts are with the Airbus and Arianspace teams and the many partners and people working their butts off to get the mission to the launch point.

One of the things I miss most right now from Spire is the internal #launch slack channel. Some of the better industry conversations and analysis I have seen. spacenews.com/vega-c-fails-o…

Looks like the ENVI/Exelis Viz/L3Harris Viz has been acquired. Looking forward to seeing where NV5 Geospatial takes it. Congrats and good luck to the team! globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

One huge mistake that many managers make is to tell a senior member of their team: “<XYZ> is entirely your decision. I am here to serve you. I will defer to whatever your decision is here.” This happens at all levels e.g. a Founder/CEO delegating “product strategy” to the CPO.

So excited to witness what you all have built and are building. Congratulations! See you in orbit

A gathering of 5000+ influencers and thought leaders in Jerusalem is shaping up to be a meaningful event. See you Feb 15!

So frustrating when overzealous United Airlines staff make you check a bag when there is still plenty of bin space available. I know you are just trying to load the plane but this has a big impact on the efficiency of air travel for business.

Why don’t airports have gyms or workout equipment? You can do a lot without getting excessively sweaty and it’s probably the single best thing you can do before getting on a long flight.

I am so impressed with Nichole Wischoff’s handling of the whole Rabois shitshow. She’s been so smart in her response and I just can’t say enough. If I were a company looking for investors, I would surely want her. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So epic! Amazing seeing the hardware fully deployed in orbit. Also note the conspiracy theorists in the comments 🙄
