0.0 Situation report

There’s a piece I read (and copied) about Amazon’s memo structure for meeting, and when I used it for a recent report and update, the response was pretty phenomenal. I guess this is going to be something I’ll write about later this week.

1.0 Things that caught my attention

1.1 Just a few of the things that caught, etc.

I am really interested in this project called Mesh Spreadsheet because it makes it look like it mashes up a cell-based concurrent programming metaphor that hundreds of millions of people are familiar with (i.e. Excel spreadsheet) with what gatekeepers would call real programming, i.e. javascript. This strikes me as a super accessible stepping stone to the directly-manipulable programming utopia that Bret Victor is aiming for.
