Though I would have to disagree with you about explicit data types. In static typed languages key to productivity is using data types and resolve most of the bugs at compile time as opposed to run time. It would be a bad call in this case to borrow advices that better apply to other environments.

And how visiting just one type of websites, like hacker news or reddit can narrow our mental models.

In my opinion it was supposed to be ironic. He is supposed to be communicator but he can't communicate his importance and he is showing very bad communication skills. After all it was taken out of context.

For example if others haven't been asking this question we wouldn't got this explanation. And now that I got this explanation of NASA's process I would like to know "Why don't they just make all this process more agile?"

For example why have only one launch in 7 years with expensive hardware? Why not multiple launches with cheaper technology?

A pro views her work as craft not art. Not because she believes art is devoid of mystical dimension. On the contrary. She understands that all creative endeavor is holy, but she doesn’t dwell on it. She knows if she thinks about that too much it will paralyze her. So she concentrates on technique. The professional masters how, and leaves what and why to the gods. Like Somerset Maugham she doesn’t wait for inspiration she acts in anticipation of its apparition. The professional is acutely aware of the intangibles that go into inspiration. Out of respect for them she lets them work. She grants them their sphere while she concentrates on hers.

The sign of the amateur is the overglorification of, and preoccupation with, the mystery.

The professional shuts up. She doesn’t talk about it. She does her work.

I wonder what the ideal web protocol would look like. If, for example, we didn't have a burden of billions of servers and Internet reliance on HTTP/1.x protocol.

What would be the most ideal solution that would suite emerging use cases for the Web? Are there any research papers on this topic?

I wonder if someone actually compiled a list of e-mail shortcomings? I tried to do a search but keyword space is filled with regular users searching for standard e-mail problems.

As for the article, it starts off with good logic but then tends to be oversimplified and ignorant. There are many variables that have to be considered when discussing this type of subject and efficiency is just one of them.
