we made a tech tower all the way to heaven, and then God struck us down for our hubris and now we all use different languages

[Hussein Elgridly @Floomers]

it was a tech stack for a while, but we played too much tech jenga and now it’s tech rubble

One of my favorite hobbies is tweeting a really unhinged reason why I’m long or short something when in reality it’s some super mundane technical dynamic like a short squeeze or unlock then pretending I’m a philosopher king

@GergelyOrosz I remember when web2 mean AJAX XMLHttpRequest, i.e. dynamic content loading instead of static pages, long before web3 was a thing. Seems unfair to reassociate it after the fact

[Hussein Elgridly @Floomers]

@GergelyOrosz I had burned out from software and took a year off to recover. I thought about the times I felt most fulfilled or proud at work, and they were all to do with mentorship and career growth. I was also interested in org process + dynamics. EM felt like the better home for that work.

@TechConnectify My furnace died over the weekend. I am probably going to get a heat pump and it will be because of you. Was already a bunch of the way through research and then your vid dropped - spectacular timing!

[Hussein Elgridly @Floomers]

@copyconstruct would that a younger me had read this article! :) spent a lot of energy - and burned a ton of credibility - attempting to fight top-down org culture as a midlevel. futile! gonna go back in time and give this to my past self now, thank you 🙏
