Alright, @sarahebond.bsky.social in her cruelty has made me aware of this remarkably incompetent talk Malcolm Gladwell gave and so I am going to inflict it on all of you by going through all of the mistakes he makes here in the hope that none of you will ever take him seriously again. 1/

Something I try to explain to tech peeps/investors is the danger of seeing yourself as the outcome, rather than the enabler.

It leads to creating 'value' that isn't valuable to the user. It just complicates their journey to the outcome you are meant to deliver.

Facebook is speed-running that. /1

Whenever I have a bad pain day, I rewatch my favorite fanvid ever made (Starships, a multifandom fanvid by bironic) and it cheers me up.

Since I've shared it a billion times on The Site That Shall Not Be Named, it's past time I share the glory of this vid here, too.
