Guess @doctorow@twitter.com’s take on how #web3 is a money grab compared to the P2P “golden age of the internet” 20 years ago, is my realisation that I’m old now as I’d say “when I was younger, [the internet] was better…”

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

Thanks, @doctorow@twitter.com on a good piece on the US bullshit perspective of “personal accountability”:

Yeah, recycling plastic doesn’t work, was a dark pattern. Just like the BS notion of “jaywalking”.

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

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

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 . . .
