“When it’s the last time you’re doing something, you don’t usually know it”. So well put. Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately as life progresses and particularly with moving overseas. Good reminder to try to enjoy and be present in every moment 🙏🙏

Loved the "When it’s the last time you’re doing something, you don’t usually know it." line. It's so true of many things. I've often thought of will I know when I'm heading out for my last run? Somethings you do know in advance (grading last test, leaving a job, etc.), but many of the things we do drift away, without us picking them up again.

The other thing that I thought was interesting was the significant rise in VR prices (Quest 2) from FB. I own one and am really wondering if that is the right move. Very rarely do we see gaming costs increase so significantly after they've been out for awhile. Not sure if I'd pay the extra $100 in cost (from $300 to $400) for the base model. It'll be interesting to see how that works out for them.

As always, great post!

A research hack regarding employee breakdowns - search for EEO-1 reports. Shows domestic (US) breakdown of employees by male/female, race, and 9 different categories. Not super specific but indicates Apple had ~20% in "Sales Workers" vs 4-5% for Google/Microsoft.
