"I actually do it. And the context I get from that sometimes is very helpful in these diffuse ways. That's a lot but not implausible for someone in his position."
"Like many other people, I hate Slack, but I can't imagine having to still communicate via email or whatever we used to do."
"I'm very much of this style that you get great people, kind of give them a very high-level thing to point at and try to let stuff just happen."
