Core Intuition

Daniel gets over the flu while Manton doubles down on coffee shops. The two discuss the value of “Office Hours” and “Coder Nights” as a means of getting out and meeting like-minded people. They discuss Facebook’s Instant Articles as a potential boon to the open web, react to the new Apple TV Tech Talk videos, and Daniel admits he never bought a 1st-generation iPhone.
