Remember that "amazing" @pmarca article?
The one that had all of Twitter and Silicon Valley singing in unison: "We need to build!"
What happened after that? Nothing.

The number of things that I've seen SV go nuts over, and then nothing happens, when those things involve herding cats (ahem, people), rather than herding electrons, is too long to list... Order of difficulty: people > hardware > software
I would write it like this in terms of difficulty: people < software < hardware To make good software, you need to understand and motivate people. To make good hardware today you need to understand people and software.

I'm thinking more in terms of friction and investment to change anything. Software, you can get a handful of smart people and let them go. Hardware, you need logistics too. People/society? I dunno. Bloomberg or Gates have burned billions trying to nudge things.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
