30 Oct 2017· Modest Conversations - The Information
Kortina and I discuss how much of modern life is about lines.

As consumers we wait on line for restaurants, takeoff windows, and countless other experiences. As producers many of us - not just ER doctors - spend a good percentage of our 'working' time waiting for work to do and under-utilized.

We discuss how technology and technology design is impacted by and impacts the nature of lines and waiting on them for producers and consumers.
