Recommends The Dream Machine. Recommends Good Inside.

“The Dream Machine, which is a tremendous history of prehistory, really, of modern computing, ostensibly following the life of J.C.R. Licklider, but really much broader than that. is a tremendous missing piece of history in my opinion. I think in my discipline in computer science, we were not properly educated. We learned about Alan Turing and we learned about some of the technical underpinnings of computer science theory, but the modern computer and the path to it is a profound and fascinating one. And it has particular resonance today as J. C. Licklider's observation was human in the loop computing. And I think we are now in human in the loop AI. And I think there's a tremendous resonance there. The second one is Good Inside, which is Dr. Becky's book. And again, I think it's a tremendous parenting book. But more than that, it does contain lessons for how we think about our own emotions and how we manage those, which I find to be useful in any context.”

I think early on when we were working on News Feed, you know, Mark was absolutely whiteboarding every single like pixel that, you know, the team had to put on the front end.

We kind of did that to the entire user base because we took what had been wall posts, which, sure, anybody could have gone to that profile and seen and then put it kind of on blast, like on main, you know, as the kids say these days, put it on main.

My reputation does precede me on this point, I'm afraid, which is, you know, I think when I was young, I saw being honest, and I was wrong, by the way, I saw being honest as like kind of a get out of jail free card.

When Mark has determined that the thing that you're working on is the most important thing, there is no detail too small him to notice like uh he will be in a review and in the same review we'll be like strategically i think we're off course and also this one pixel is is definitely wrong you have to fix that like you know that's a big range i frankly if i i'll be a little bit self-congratulated i probably myself may be able to do the same and i think people who work with me often comment that the style of leadership that we have and i think chris cox is the same is that where it's like, we will go high to low on the things that matter a ton.

I want to say, first of all, when the headset came out, we breathed a little sigh of relief because the stuff inside of it didn't represent a fundamental breakthrough.

You want to use metaphor? And so for me, it's like, I will give an all-hands And then write a post with the content of the all hands because different people are going to respond differently to these modalities and are going to absorb information at different rates on these different modalities.

I'm a huge fan of that potential for exactly the same reason that they are, by the way, which I think hands in mixed reality make it feel much more accessible to more people.

There is today now resources like your podcast and your newsletter that are actually really designed to help people who are professionals in our industry in a way that has almost kind of missing for 15, 20 years. And I love to see that because if you're an up and coming PM, literally you used to have to know somebody and ask them a question.

It was probably one of the most magical things I've gotten to try recently. It's not totally fair because it's also not, you can buy the Ray-Ban Metaglasses, and very soon, I won't say when, but very soon, they'll have this capability.
