He's really not. Right now, for example, he mostly works on a Chromebook. At least that's what he's usually on when I see him working in the kitchen*.
(I work at Netflix)
* Reed doesn't have an office / cubicle / set location, so he tends to work either in a common area or in a random conference room until you kick him out because you reserved the room
Two comments:
1. Their internal motto was, in fact, "go fast and break stuff"; I know this first-hand because I talked with them about that at my interview back in February, where they mentioned that they've changed to "go fast and be bold" because, in fact, they were trying to lower incidents of availability hits;
2. 20+ years of tech industry experience here, and I was totally ready to be interviewed by some snot-nosed kid. What I got instead was an interview panel whose average tech industry tenure was around 17 years. I was, uniformly, impressed with the caliber of the people I met with there -- they verged from "pretty decent" in one case, to "pretty great" in all but two other cases, to "I'd take a $10K pay cut to work with this person" for the last two people. I was pretty surprised, and delighted.
How does confirming the domain's identity automatically solve this problem?
If someone from the gxail.com domain sends me email (let's assume here the 'x' is some weird Cyrillic character that looks just like an 'm'), any automated confirmation of the domain's validity would not do some sort of eyeball check "Oh, that looks like gmail.com, let's confirm if it is, oops it isn't..." but rather an automated "did that email come from gxail.com? Yup, sure did."
Even if you popped up a notice that said "hey, I don't know about that domain," the typical user -- heck, I'd argue even the typical Slashdot user -- would go "weird, looks like it lost creds for it" and click whatever the equivalent of "Oh well" button the notice had.
Probably because, we expect, that Slashdot readers are generally comfortable enough with elementary math to be able to either multiply $1300 by 3 ($3900) or 4 ($5200), or has easy access to a calculator.
Memory fault - where am I?
