Do The Right Thing: A Minority Founder’s Thoughts On Diversity

Posted on by

If you visit this blog regularly, you’ve read about the challenges I face in hiring for my New Orleans-based edtech startup. I struggle to find skilled engineers. I struggle to find strong salespeople. Indeed, I struggle to find qualified employees of all stripes. But perhaps my biggest struggle is hiring for a diverse workforce, one that accurately reflects the racial and gender demographics of our country.  As a black founder (Born in Jamaica, raised in Brooklyn), it is particularly important to me that people that look like me have a seat at the tech table, arguably the fastest growing sector of the US economy.

How to solve the bow-boosting debate

It's said the best answer is the simplest one. So here is my suggestion to end the massive controversy around this much-loved bug, while also adding in some very cool new mechanics.
Give firework rockets a cooldown of around 2 seconds, and allow them to be right-clicked while flying with the Elytra, to be consumed and provide a speed boost.
The cooldown should be enough to prevent the player from taking off from flat ground (which, to be honest, is a bit overpowered), but still allows firework rockets to sustain long-distance flight.
Firework rockets are the perfect item for this purpose, because they are easy to mass – produce (with or without massive mega-farms), and they would allow you to leave a particle trail behind you, customizable by customizing the rocket, of course.
Also, using firework rockets to boost flight is much, much more intuitive than shooting yourself with a bow.

This also allows me to suggest a cool new mechanic that would previously have been violently rejected – the ability to shoot flying players down. Hitting a player with an arrow would close the Elytra and cancel all forward momentum, giving ground-bound players a chance to killing their flying friends.
