I like e-mail as a means of communication, specially for three factors: (1) is built around open protocols (2) is, at a certain degree, universal and the foundation of having a identity online while being accessible and simple (3) it exists at least 50 years.

Thinking about data structures, thinking about how to efficiently store data, and how to teach my computer (or others) to do things that I don’t want to have to do manually, because the computer is more trustworthy than me at certain tasks.
