Joi and Jey map the timeline of tech booms they’ve survived – from dot com to cloud computing, remote work, social video, and now AI – while discovering the next frontier is literally space. Joi’s LinkedIn deep dive uncovers Hillary Coe, SpaceX’s first Director of Design who’s now Chief Design and Marketing Officer at Vast, building the world’s first commercial space station.

From the uncomfortable truth that 90% of early internet was porn and research to social media creating the first universal use case, we trace how each boom built the foundation for the next. Joi breaks down why cloud computing enabled remote work, which enabled video social, which created the training data for AI – and now AI is accelerating space colonization.

Plus: LinkedIn as the ultimate discovery platform for finding “boss bitches” leading entire industries, why rocket design is literally rocket science, and how Vast is hiring project managers for commercial space stations. The internet evolved from research and porn to connecting everyone – now it’s taking us off-planet.

Hillary Coe’s LinkedIn about section says it all: “Emmy award-winning design leader employing bold multiplatform innovations to solve the world’s greatest challenges.” From leading visual strategy for a new era of spaceflight at SpaceX to developing long-term life in space at Vast – this is what surviving multiple tech booms looks like.
