  • Most people live with technology being terrible

    Jay Sitter, on people expecting technology to suck and just leaving the issues in place rather than fixing them: I’m in no way making light of these people knowing less than me about technology.

  • The Outline

    Joshua Topolsky: What’s most exciting about the platform is that we’re able to break apart and atomize story elements into forms that are sized for what we want to communicate.
