I'm rewatching Dark Matter and... there's a swarm message board scene. This aired two years ago.

Mach set NeXT back but nobody is ready for that discussion.
NeXTSTEP is such an enigma in the grand scheme of computer history. It’s like the modern equivalent of your nerdiest developers leaving to spend a decade fucking around with low level kernel drivers and UI frameworks that customers don’t understand and sales guys don’t know how to sell. They make no money for years, but they also hard launch the computer animation industry along the way by accident.
Then, on the cusp of irrelevancy, they come back, immediately stop being nerds and go on to lead the greatest product led development cycle in history. Nobody ever remembers Steve Jobs as the object oriented inter-process-communication guy, but he was. He personally hired the original designer of the Mach kernel.
What the hell?

The real test of whether a logo is iconic. Can you recognize it with the name changed?
As part of our annual @oxidecomputer meetup, I added three new logos to our wall honoring our forebears; how many can you name?

We need an investigation into unaligned journalists going rogue and hacking startups.

Are the other half rawdogging IP or what
Tailscale is a Toronto company that just quietly became the connectivity layer half of Silicon Valley's AI teams depend on, with no big launch behind it. Business customers doubled to 40,000 since November, almost entirely from engineers telling other engineers it just works. No funding round. No press tour. CEO Avery Pennarun called it overdone Canadian modesty, and that line hit closer than I expected. I build payment infrastructure for a living, and I know that instinct well, ship the reliable thing and let it speak for itself, then wonder why nobody outside the industry knows your name. Is that humility or just bad marketing?
