tricky thing with software is as much as you want to reduce taps or whatever you should also look for the handful of places where adding a bit of friction softens the entire experience and outweighs the optimization.

software is a medium and like any other medium it can be used as a form of communication and expression. the right tools and capabilities will make that widespread.

hiring a very senior UI-focused engineer. you accept react. you hate stutters, rerenders, layout jitter and slowness more than anything in the world. you need revenge. nyc or remote. great comp and team. building a social app from the future. DM or email stuff to dom at sup xyz.

a world computer should make software creation so simple, natural, and integrated that it could 10x the number of people who create software today.

a world computer today is basically a mainframe. a number cruncher and spreadsheet in a multiplayer setting. what doesn’t really exist yet is a personal world computer. something with intent around creation, communication, browsing, gaming in a multiplayer setting.
