Clearly one current need to solve: how to get away from negative aspects of phones while retaining the positivesβmore presence in the real world vs reflexive insular online ones. Needing a better (productive) remote control for our life over a better (addictive) tv in our pocket.
Thinking about this pitch more recentlyβ¦ weβre sort of seeing a new category emerge, theyβre just still these worse than a phone (/why isnt it an app) things & will be for a while; netbooks. What works wonβt replace phones just be better at some key things + solve current needs.

For all our organizational faults this was an exceptional strength of Snap design. Our designer to engineer ratio was prob the most skewed of any company out there at our scale, which really forced a trust level and cross app responsibility to be felt by the 10-12 of us back then.
The holy fecta of Product, Engineering, Design (and often Data) is outdated. The assumption that every team should hold every craft calcifies orgs and sets a dumb expectation that design needs to move at the rate of engineering (it can be much faster). (1/3).

Issue is they fundamentally dont know how to innovate in software esp w iPhone. Craft in a league of their own but w all the resources/talent, theyre still philosophically rudderlessβAIβs just a perfect storm to showcase that inability to take swings at new value/not play catchup.

Kinda funny the end-vision of our collective digital future (w apple/meta throwing billions & billions at it) is essentially a floating iphone. Ornamentation of the physical world will be crazy tech too but so low utility that it really will just come down to: hands free screens.
