Each day I'm more and more curious whether the #Trump #Russia fiasco is little more than a mainstream media epidemic of frequency illusion and/or selective perception. I'm sure you could make the exact same connections (with this administration or any past) to another BRICS state without trouble.

@theoutrider I guess this is supposed to be a joke.

@cdevroe Hopefully we don't all get murdered in the intervening time, where it's a mixed bag of humans and robots.

@masoud @maloki This.

This *continues*, in 2017, to stymie adoption of #Git. The Alpha Nerds want to trumpet how distributed it is, whereas the real benefits are indirect consequences of that (such as merging that actually works).

Center on the features, but sell the benefits. Sales 101

@tcql @Ashoka it's sad that monetization has become a dirty word... but the % people willing to pay *directly* for services on teh Interwebz is so low that nothing network-effect-dependent could work that way

@cdevroe I like the cut of your jib, sir. Not in NEPA too much these days, but have history/ties. If you're ever down in Lancaster County, hit me up - love to buy you a drink.

@embolalia while I'd simplify that to the less flame-y "shit zealots say," @VinceintheBay your analysis doesn't allow the nuance required to differentiate between users "wanting dumb/fast/easy" and a product having simple stories and a clear #UX.
