Justin Blanton:

I’ve long wanted to get to this point, and being (mostly) here now feels pretty damn good.

Much of what makes this possible is that I can delegate in one way or another most of what I think of, and can get away with being extremely terse in my emails. At this stage of my career my day-to-day job requires minimal work-product; if I was coding all day, designing websites, or researching, I probably wouldn’t be able to leverage my pocket computer the way I do, but I wouldn’t want to either.

There are a lot of people who just don’t need traditional computers anymore. Delegating tasks, checking on projects, discussing ideas — communicating — is the kind of work that smartphones excel at. There’s no reason to add the unnecessary cruft that comes along with desktop operating systems when you have everything you need on your pocket computer.
