The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q I wanna ask you about what you eventually left, uh, working, uh, at Google, and you started your own, you founded your own company called Memory Labs, and I guess my, my sort of description of this, and you can, you can improve on it, is, It was basically a journaling app, right? It allowed people to take photos and journal entries and created an archive on their phone, basically?

A Yeah, I'd say it wasn't really just one app. We just tried a lot of different ideas. So the main hypothesis for us was You know, I, I just like love recording everything about my life. I was one of those crazy people who, who would, at the end of the day, I would talk, I would try to capture who I hung out with. Where did I hang out with them? What did we talk about? What was the most important thing that happened to me that day? And I love journaling and that's something that I wanted to. Build for other people. And so when I founded memory labs, um, I didn't know what form that was going to take. So, you know, that's why I kind of went with the labs metaphor. And the idea was let's build a bunch of different apps and see which one sticks. Um, and, uh, the, the main thing that I tried to do is try to make it really, really easy for you to capture and share your memories, um, with the idea that eventually you'll have this amazing journal that you'd keep for yourself.

Q As you guys started to talk through those ideas, how, how did you start to talk about maybe working together on, on a project?

A Yeah, I think it was just one of those things where we, we just spent a lot of time together and we were both starting to think about, you know, what do we do with our day jobs? And, um, I think after many sessions, we just had like, let's just work together. We don't know what we want to do, but we want to work together. And I think initially we said, let's not do anything in social. We're, we're just too old. We have families and it's hard and unpredictable. And, uh, so we just said like, let's work on something more boring and, uh, just a little bit more predictable. Uh, I think we were thinking about, uh, areas like productivity and education and marketplaces.
