Why do I feel like a regulator would immediately file a suit for $1B+ if Waymo did this?

Pretty incredible that Rails World 2024 sold out in ~20min.
It’s the sort of thing an engineering team builds when they have way too much time and no idea what to build. There is zero reason to use something like this over, say Jupyter notebooks and the advantages of notebook are obvious: actual researchers are already familiar with it, you can integrate everything into your data science workflow, visualise results etc
So, you’re telling me Twitter engineering was over staffed…
Ahh yea, it has nothing to do with the massive amount of crime, violence, decay and grift by those enabling it.
A person can be both ‘rich’ and want better for the community they choose to be part of.

> Zoom is the Skype of video - it turned a technology few people used much into a mass-market product. But next we’ll get the equivalents of Instagram and Snap - products that ask different questions. Zoom solved getting into a call, but why are you in the call?
Complete garbage. I know why I'm in a call, it's none of your business, and I don't want products asking questions.
Agreed.
Also, who thought it would be a great product improvement to update as you are launching a call?
In addition, a few more things that suck about Zoom:
- No I don't want my screen to go to Zoom/fullscreen when someone shares their screen
- When the call ends, just end. Don't show me anything more with zoom, or make my screen go to a zoom/call ended modal.
1 click on/ 1 click off. Just be simple!

The article is pretending that having a meeting not only waste half a day but actually waste a full day. Your point B is not reflective of the actual content we are discussing.
The article suggests that makers tend to take on ambitious projects that take large blocks of time to complete. This is objectively true; even today. Most of what is built is ambitious or takes large chunks of time.
Editing some text or repositioning a button or something trivial is 30-min and does not require thought, but most everything is not this. Most everything involves large chunks of time and interrupting this chunk is certainly a disaster.

Attending meetings is part of doing your jobs. Meetings exist for a purpose. The whole attitude that all meetings are somehow a waste of your precious time show that you both are unable to grasp what’s happening and are strongly entitled. I’m not surprised to see it fully on display here considering the readership but you have to understand that it’s why people who interact with developers find them hard to work with and is largely responsible for the stereotype of the software dev as some kind of eternal adolescents you see on display in most business.
Most meetings can be done async with a few bullet points. So much time wasted on idle talk that is not productive.
- both a maker and manager
