I do fear that cars are going to have the opposite problem to phones... Where Apple sacrifices battery life for unnecessary thin-ness, I fear car companies will sacrifice it for unnecessary speed and size.
Edit: and who knows what'll happen if Apple gets into the electric car business!
Couldn't that be an opportunity though? Are you more likely to notice 'the new thing' from Atlassian, or when someone says "Woah, have you seen how much they've improved HipChat?"
Sure, totally. This was my sort of sarcastic attempt at recruiting. People seem enamored by the things taught by individuals with these credentials, and I always like to plug the military as a school for these leadership concepts, because that's really what the military does. I suggest to anybody in their 20s or early 30s that is keenly interested in learning this kind of thing (and applying it) to look at a short enlistment in the military. No need to drop everything you're doing, either: The reserves let you live your "normal" everyday life while serving. I successfully ran a handful of businesses over the course of my enlistment, and definitely have the Army to thank for filling in the blanks where it was needed.
Ha - Sorry if I sounded confrontational... I was actually agreeing with you.
As it happens, another great place to learn these skills is by volunteering with youth military cadet forces (in the UK, the Army, Air or Sea cadets.) I'm not sure how prevalent these are in the US? (I guess this is an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Cadet_Alliance)
I got the impression that he was aware of it, but had no reason to remember the specifics of it. He knew it sounded about right, which is what I'd expect from a CEO months (or years) after the fact.
To be fair, it could stand to be a bit thinner IMO. As a smartwatch it's a nice size, but as something that's always attached to my wrist, I wouldn't mind if they figured out a way to make it thinner without sacrificing any more battery life.
And it's extremely useful, I don't get random calls in the middle of the night unless it's PagerDuty, select coworkers (in case something is a big-deal before PD calls me 10 minutes after the push notification) and family.
