It is extremely sad that we have not traveled beyond Earth orbit since the end of the Apollo program in 1972. Space exploration inspired many of us to study math and CS and fostered innovation. The majority of the most relevant people in tech in the last 30 years (Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc.) have repeatedly commented how the Apollo missions were inspiration for the their studies and careers.

Not a very scientific approach. The article starts with a conclusion and then tries to leverage the findings to explain it.

Go ahead and explain the situation to the employers whose offers you turned down. Especially in the US, people will understand, and the offers should still be valid.

It may seems obvious, but it is extremely hard to accomplish. It is easy to convince yourself that you are so busy building other things (product, company culture, brand, marketing strategy, vision, etc.) and you forget to talk with the customers.
Being busy with day-to-day activities is a major reason why large companies fail to innovate.
Always good to get a reminder to talk with the customers.

Books have more senses than movies and games, because in books, you can describe touch feelings, smells, temperatures, etc., thus giving readers a multisensorial experience. In movies you can only rely on sound and image. Zero other senses. Smell in books is superior to smell in movies.
