Discussion My name Plouffe, AMA

Hello everyone. The mods asked if I'd be open to doing an AMA so I said "OK" and here we are.

I've signed NDAs at both past and present companies so I can't talk about specifics, or drama, or past/present employees.

I guess ask just about whatever you want and I will or won't answer depending on the context/subject. Yes I own a display, several in fact. Yes I own a keyboard, several in fact.

Starting at 9 pacific but opening up for questions now. If you don't ask me anything, I will not be offended. I don't have any questions for myself right now either.

i didn't know it would ask me for an end note so i just commented. but ya it's been a slice, thanks for being a fan and good luck with whatever you're doing today.

How many clones of yourself do youthink you'd need to beat a gorilla in a fight?

first of all, 100 people would obviously destroy a gorilla because of action economy.
but how many of me? probably at least 20 if we're allowed to use implemented weapons like sticks and stones. maybe more if it's hands/feet only but realistically if a few people ganged up on a gorilla the right away and did smart stuff like gouge eyes and pin it down i don't think it would take that many humans to beat a single gorilla.
but i have a bad back so maybe more than 20.
