Phone developer person: People are really happy with our product.

Other phone developer: You’re right, they are.

Phone developer person:…perhaps a little TOO happy.

Other phone developer: you’re RIGHT. They’re far TOO happy.

Phone developer person: In their lives. Just in general.

Other phone developer: What’re you thinking?

Phone developer person: Okay, just go with me….people already spend a lot of time worrying about what people think of them / if they are being rejected / how they are perceived, right?

Other phone developer: yes…yes….

Phone developer person: what if we made them have to look at TINY TEXT BUBBLES THAT MAKE IT EVEN MORE CLEAR THAT SOMEONE HAS READ THEIR WORDS BUT IS ACTUALLY MAKING A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO IGNORE THEM OUT OF SUPERIORITY OR APATHY OR SPITE?

Other phone developer: Okay — so what will it mean, that the person is responding, and then deleting that response? Or –?

Phone developer: WE’LL NEVER TELL THEM. WE’LL MAKE THEM GUESS.

Other phone developer person: I LOVE IT.

Phone developer: ME TOO. LET’S GO SLAP SOME BABIES AND BREAK SOME HEARTS.
