@JonHaidt @candice_odgers There is a lot of chatter about the Nature review happening on the other micro-blogging platform @JonHaidt. It would be great to hear your voice there.

You're a great engineer if you know:

• Simple is beautiful
• To focus on the problem, not the tech
• How to reuse what already exists
• Launching is the start, not the end
• How to step back & let others lead
• How to get different views & change your mind
• Your customer

This is straight-up the most interesting climate idea I have ever seen.

Mitigate climate change! Reduce sea level rise! Create new ecosystems, energy sources, & economic opportunities!

There must be some fatal flaw but damn.

@deliprao nyc has a big tech/startup scene but it is blended into the rest of the city and you have to work harder to connect. but that is also why so many sf tech folks moved here: greater diversity of people/experiences outside of tech.

@ryannystrom @CARROT_app This is an extremely quirky app.
