1) About Innovation
2) About Grab: https://t.co/6XscwvBsyv
3) About what's coming
1) INNOVATION: "The main reason I left Google is that they can no longer innovate. First, they’re conservative. Second, they are mired in politics. Third, Google is arrogant. But fourth, last, and probably worst of all, Google has become 100% competitor-focused"

… in other words, Google is now a mature large corp. and Yegge is simply realising this is incompatible with innovation. Companies are pretty much like living organisms: they are born, grow, mature and die. We know this: https://t.co/YN9WXyt7jt

… on the other hand, OMG! If Google is not innovative today, who is innovative? (Yes, yes Grab, of course.)

2) This is hilarious: "what is Grab? Well, the simple and unsatisfying answer is: They’re the Uber of Southeast Asia. But that’s a terrible marketing message, because Uber is trying their best to become the most hated company in the U.S."

Food delivery is hitting the world like a cat-5 hurricane.
Southeast Asia is The World’s Battleground.
The name of the game is last-mile delivery!!
"Jeff Bezos has been trying for twenty years to solve the last-mile problem."

"But for essentially the whole world, the last-mile problem wasn’t solved until ride-hailing networks came along."
