$TTCM Picking the developer Jordan Gray's brain
Um. Funny enough I’ve been talking to David in the background and I consider myself a recovering ENTP. ENTPs are of the ‘inventor’ mindset in the Myers-Briggs model.
In the early years of engineering I had SO MANY ideas of all the things that we can do – but if you entertain ALL those ideas - then one idea trumps the other idea and the next idea trumps another idea and you end up not nurturing anyone of them well. So you cannot engineer with an innovative ADHD type model.
I had to come to terms with putting ideas on the back burner – and changing the concept of an ‘idea’ into just something as simple as an ‘understanding’.
Once you’re able to do that – this is not easy – then you can start accumulating understanding in the area of innovation and you realize that your idea initially was very fragmented and small and only a tiny part of the larger picture – so allowing an idea to germinate rather than rushing to activate has been my experience over the last 20 years.
So interestingly enough there are a lot of ideas that I have put on the back burner but I have still been thinking about in the back of my mind these past few decades.
I’ll just give an example in one tiny area of this discussion – which will be in the issue of ‘search’.
If you would find me back in 1991 long before the Internet was the Internet – I was pretty prolific leveraging MedLine. I was doing my studies in allied medicine at the Ohio State University - For context I enjoyed pretending like I had a beeper on my hip when I did not so when a doctor’s actual beeper went off near me I would pretend to check my hip. (I thought that was funny – it was mostly an inside joke to myself)
But this was me interacting with very powerful remotely stored digital medical text library’s and it made my brain think further of what are the possibilities.
I shared that to tell you that by the time Google started in 1998 I was already producing web apps in 1999 using ‘verity’ search engine indexing technology for a nonprofit managing thousands of documents – and I was having the same exact bug that Google was having at that time with one of their color coding of keywords in the search engine results for – and I kind of chuckled to myself back then in 1999 that we were screwing up our search results the same way (messing up propercase etc on search terms) Since then I have built some ideas about nested search engines (I’ll spare you the details) that really will become for the first time accessible to the masses with this ArKNet project – so I am SUPER excited to be able to bring some of our technology into its fullest potential/and expanding audiences.
Little while ago I tweeted set an idea that comes to soon before it’s time is very expensive and unsustainable and fragile – I do not believe that that is the case with Artnet.
If we were developing this technology for HALO (expensive ar headsets 3k ea)- I think it would be too far ahead of its time since $3000 per set up is a bit steep and there’s not a big community.
(Tautachrome path - smart phone tech > leading into glasses)
I personally believe that leveraging the smart phone technology and leveraging it in the best possible way that we can do something that is highly sustainable in the current situation with a huge audience.
And one technology note really quickly about the software that we are developing – many versions of hardware will come and go but our software will remain and exist inside the future beyond current limitations and hardware – so we need to have a broad view of the future not based on even the current hardware that we are publishing to. (even though that already is very accommodating we are not held back by its limitations)
