Hey Martin, som een der både har bygget virksomheder (vist større end noget du nogensinde har lavet) og været offentligt ansat kan jeg sige at det ville klæde dig at holde din kæft lige nu, 2/3 af offentlige ansatte er i skudlinien pt. du er ikke...

For fremtiden, når jeg hører offentligt ansatte klage over at få dårligere løn, end dem i det private erhvervsliv, vil jeg minder dem om hvem der bliver fyret, når samfundet brænder.

One of the lonely parts of being a founder of building company from scratch is all the moments that are so intense, amazing, horrifying and just sheer impossible that you can never really convey with words, sometimes you just see other founders and you know they know too...

@thorborg Jeg forstår bare ikke hvorfor det er vigtigt at være os vs. dem, der bliver rigtigt mange syge offentlige medarbejdere i børnehaver og på sygehuse over de næste måneder for at vi kan åbne "økonomien", hvorfor er det så vigtigt med klicheer om hvem der brokker sig over hvad?

I'm nervous we have little understanding of the emergent complex system we have built w. vulnerabilities on every level of the stack from chips to humans. We think we are controlling it, but complexity at a high enough scale is indistinguishable from magic and harder to control.

Tråd: Jeg har netop læst at Netcompany skal overtage driften af det, vi idag kender som e-Boks. Idag er e-Boks ejet af Nets, og dermed skifter vi altså blot den ene private virksomhed ud med den anden. Det har fået mig til at tænke over om sådan en ting i virkeligheden bør være
