I see Slack can be in the "better email" category. Where's stack overflow? Better search engine for hackers? This is a great article, thanks for pointing it out!

Yeah, I don't think PG had "optimized Q&A" in mind but it fulfills the condition of being something hackers can use effectively to search documentation.

There's some other good concepts in there. But the gist of what he's saying is interesting. It's not about things that look great, but rather things that are repulsive to us because they question how we view the world.

By that line of thought, Bitcoin would definitely qualify.
