I worked at Twitter in 2010 during @jack@twitter.com’s hostile return. Some fun memories:

For one of my interview panels the interviewers didn’t show up, but I was still hired…

Of course any “backdoors for good guys only” will be abused… show this article to any ignorant politician arguing for less privacy in order to “save us from terrorists and pedophiles”.

The trifecta of climate change, lack of common defence and indepence strategy and lack of digital commons is what Europe has squandered with 15 years of petty political bullshit.
Time to wake up.

Taking a moment to think about how utterly crazy it is that in 2022 a company with a significant dataset of private and public communications, that has municipalities, companies and governments on the platform, can switch ownership with pretty much zero scrutiny

I didn't fully realize what freedom was until it was taken away. My thoughts in those first moments after release.

Every single "rule" of management requires a degree of flexibility and interpretation. What you learn through years of doing it is when to flex and when to hold firm. If you operate as though everything is a valid edge case you'll cause chaos; w/o flex you drown in bureaucracy.

@Lanooba@twitter.com One of my mentors said to me, it takes 5yrs to gain 5yrs of experience. I thought I short-circuited because I was mentored & was above average but retrospectively the skills (people or tech) needed to be Senior have also advanced. It takes years to gain the right experience

I do.

Democracy is slow grinding work.
Autocracy promises quick easy solutions.
Democracy requires a lot of its citizens.
Autocracy allows people to be lazy.
Democracy requires compromise.

Democracy strives for fairness but can never be completely fair . . .
