Saddened by death of Len Syme. In 1989, I took his UC Berkeley course & mentioned I'd been asked to lead 1990 Int'l AIDS Conf. He said, "Take good notes; you'll want to write about it." That led to my 1st book, The Fragile Coalition. Len was a true giant. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

Agree, Chris, it's long but it's also fascinating and well-researched. They make the argument that Epic is the most successful vertically integrated piece of software ever, and that Judy Faulkner is likely the most successful female entrepreneur ever. Both are probably correct.

Proud of my wife Katie Hafner, who gave commencement speech to SF State computer sci grads today (many first-gen to college). It's a tough time for grads – the job market's tight (economy & AI). Yet the speech, on welcoming and preparing for serendipity, was uplifting & inspiring.

This move puts the lives of Americans at risk The attack on mRNA vaccines is beyond absurd It was President Trump's Operation Warp Speed that gave us mRNA vaccines These vaccines have been administered nearly 2 billion times to hundreds of millions of people around the world
