This Paul Giamatti scene from Billions has been in my head for a bit. The egg one with his daughter and Mike Prince. It feels genuine, almost improvised, and reminds me of my own childhood (or lack thereof). Well done. Truly 5/5

@mosseri stop making everything reels. You're making everyone from journalists, content creators, CEOs, and celebrities agree. It's now an app for everything you're advertising, not of my friends and people I think are cool.

Why didn't I do a build all these years? I've had manufacturers (awesome ones too) reach out, but the whole time only Linus had the right mindset about it. Most other people wanted to profit in some way; he wanted to get to know me and what happened first. That's a real tech tip!

Seeing a couple questions about the vid I'll list now: Why didn't you do this sooner? I've been busy behind the scenes, I also reached out to Linus about it, then COVID happened. Are you sorry for how the original went? Obviously, I wanted it to be "perfect".

A lot of my comments against some parts of the community that were sending threats rubbed some the wrong way. Sorry about that! But that's why I traveled 3000 miles to do this build. I've always prided myself in learning, so I hope it teaches you as much as it makes you laugh.

But more than anything, I'm happy the right video got out there. My goal with the vid was always to educate (even though the first time it was a guide on what *not* to do)! So, this is a nice way of wrapping all that up, especially with how my former employers handled it.
