In a world where we 2x our podcasts some of the historical notes can seem slow but are poignant. The latter part of the lecture has some nuggets that are worth the 50 minutes.

To me, I think the key is to balance the universal with the non-universal to forge progress.

One interesting connection is that in an earlier lecture Steve Huffman notes they tried categories with Reddit but reverted. Here Kay explains why.

Incidentally, someone who calls out UX issues like the absence of a map in the side entrance of the Gates building is my kind of person.
