The Curse of a New Building (steveblank.com)

(The C.N.Parkinson chapter is particularly recommended. Can't go wrong with the whole book, too.)

Yes, I've wondered if Parkinson’s Law of Buildings means this is a sign of peak Apple. Still, with so much cash they can enjoy a long, leisurely decline.

In the close-ups[1], there's a certain similarity to the Capitol Records building in LA.[2]

> A new drone video, captured by aerial videographer Matthew Roberts earlier this month, shows the 'Research and Development' facility..., the 'tantau roof' on the security kiosk in place,... landscaping taking place both within the "spaceship's" courtyard...

Fascinating what's possible by one man and his drone without any corporate authorization. As I was watching I first thought this was an official release, it looked so slick. We will see more like this. On balance I like the implications for public transparency.

I definitely read this as "Foster and Parents" and was very confused. But dope, campus looks good!
