"As far as I can see, it will have to take the form of some sort of device into which you pump air at one end and you get air without carbon dioxide coming out the other end. It can be done, I am sure, but at the moment we do not have such a device. However, without something like that I cannot see how we are going to deal with the carbon dioxide that is getting into the atmosphere. We are going to have to rely on a technology that has not yet been developed. That is a measure of the troubles that lie ahead for us. I think humanity can do it, but I would feel much better if I saw governments investing in such technology."

This is a great simple UX to have the conversation.

Im a casual coder and love the built in features, but never paid because I never identified as a full time developer. I always thought I would pay for it once I needed all the time, but that never happened.

Now I use Atom, not the same hot keys but good enough for a few docs a month.

Yea, I wonder how long it takes you to make your money back on the fridge savings. Good conversation topic at least for the BBQ's.

Its good to have the story and perspective behind the evolution. An interesting business lesson on the threat of fast followers.
