Could have sworn I looked for comment section below and there wasn't one. I must just be "that old guy" now. Great post, Leon.

Was referenced an article recently about the passing of the creator or AutoCAD (probably by you lol). It was mind blowing how little fanfare there was for him given his influence on Engineering tools that we have now. There really should be some sort of software HOF or Oscars...or something, to recognize these kinds of things.

The mom-shaming? That's classic because one of the best moves I made recently was going to the $6.99/mo Netflix tier from $20+. It is WAY worth the few commercials I see now.

Looking forward to that phone hacking article. Mitnick used to fascinate me so this is right up my alley.

Well, you're in for a ride then. It was a good story and great storytelling. I will have more on the netflix (and streaming) in the next newsletter. :)

And yes, the AutoCad inventor and his contribution was just so sad. If I may be selfish but what are the chances of people like us being remembered when guys like John Walker is... hey, look at here! NYTimes did a nice job here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/06/technology/john-walker-dead.html

There's hope for us!
