Josh Wardle, later the creator of Wordle, talks at SF Tech Poetics about why April Fools' Day in Silicon Valley is often lame. He shares lessons from building The Button and Place at Reddit.
HN points to it as a pre-Wordle look at Wardle's thinking on designing online spaces, and as a brief postmortem of r/place.
