      I should probably write a guide for people asking for help like this... actually IIRC Jimmy Wales once wrote a Quora answer that basically covers it. Yeah, here we go:pic.twitter.com/awEuUQsxh9

      vgr is an older, grumpier, more skeptical version of me, with a larger body of work (in terms of writing and blogposts), so if he's sold on a tool than I'm pretty much sold by extension. I'm not sure what persuaded himhttps://twitter.com/vgr/status/1199508000194433024 …

      Tentatively, I think this deserves hype it’s getting. If they solve intake, it will be a genuine paradigm shift. They’ve managed to actually do what we tried valiantly to do with trailmeme at xerox a decade ago. I can spot all the things they’ve done right that we got wrong.

      No, it was pretty much 100% my own evaluation coming from having worked on similar tech in the past at Xerox. I just happen to know the tech domain well, which is not usually the case for me when adopting a product.
