    I love having an analog clock. It makes it feel like you have more time compared to a digital clock, making me more relaxed. For example, if the time is 12:34 PM, my subconscious will think, “Ahh, shit, 26 more minutes before 1 PM.” But with an analog clock, I read it as around half an hour before 1 PM. The visual representation also helps, like seeing that there is a distance that the hands need to travel to reach a certain time.

    All in all, I very much prefer having analog clocks vs digital when given the chance.










  • Google has this culture that you need to make something to be something, usually someone will have an idea to make a product, then the product is quite successful and they get promoted away from managing that product.

    Then someone gets assigned to manage that product, since that someone new also wants to make “something” to be something, they put their own spin on that product.

    Since they’re not the one who made the product in the first place, they missed what made the product great.

    This causes the product to lose quality, and therefore the user base. With a reduced user base, there’s no justification to keep the product alive, so Google pulled the plug on the product.

    It’s a vicious cycle that results in a lot of things made and killed by Google.
