  Been doing email since it began. Same frustrations.

  Solutions (workarounds):

  1. Email is structured with “executive summary” & “detail”. That way I can write all the words I want but people can only read the first paragraph.
  2. Never ask questions. Tell them what I’m going to choose, & give them opportunity to disagree. That way if they don’t respond usefully I can take their “non-response” as a response & proceed anyway.
  3. If I need to ask a question, use a phone call or go to their desk, or (shudder) make a meeting.

  Interesting article, I agree with his analysis, not sure (yet) that I agree with his conclusions. My brain needs to think about it in the background for a bit (just the way mine works).

  TLDR: we should expect conversational interfaces to be an addition to the workflows we currently use.

  “Also car has great visibility forward and fuck all backwards, rear view mirror is like double the size of the rear window (in the reflection, not side by side).”

  Yeah - this is exactly why you should reverse park. When you come out again into potentially a stream of traffic, if you reverse park, you’re coming out forwards, you can see them & they can see you. If you forward park you have literally no idea what you’re backing out into.
