Ep. 2 | Size Corrupts: Why Great Tech Teams Stop Being Great | Scott Knaster

Welcome to our second episode of General Magic & The Soul of Tech. This was a nostalgic conversation with one of our early colleagues at General Magic.

Scott Knaster is one of the few people who worked at Apple, General Magic, and then Microsoft and Google—which means he’s seen the soul of tech from just about every angle. In this conversation, he talks about what made each of those cultures different, and why Magic’s still stands apart in his memory. It’s a warm, honest, and sometimes funny look at what happens when a company is built around people rather than products—and what gets lost when that stops being the priority.

The full uncut video is below on YouTube for those nostalgia buffs who want to hear our full conversation.
