Amazon (& Walmart) are 2 of the most important co.s on earth: They've meaningfully reshaped our lives, the global economy, & labor & business standards. And few people understand it all better than @DelRey. Can't wait to devour his new book, Winner Sells All.

Feeling lucky I get to do this with @Alessandra_Ram!

@DelRey That means a lot. Thank you, Jason!

Sam was my editor at Recode the last 4 years and I learned so much from her. I can’t wait to follow her next move and her new venture and highly recommend you do too

[Jean Guerrero @jeanguerre]

Finally, the biggest story of our time/planet/species is getting its own journalism studio.

@katienotopoulos @voxdotcom @goodluck_media @WIRED @Alessandra_Ram Thanks, Katie!

[Samantha Oltman @SamOltman]

@km_mcfarland Thank you!!!

[K.M. McFarland @km_mcfarland]

Follow what these talented journalists are building. They’ve done incredible work for a decade across so many companies, it’s about damn time they’ve got something of their own.

[Samantha Oltman @SamOltman]

@rebheilweil @voxdotcom @Recode @voxmediapods Thank you!

[Samantha Oltman @SamOltman]

@TonyHoWasHere @voxdotcom @goodluck_media @WIRED @Alessandra_Ram Thank you, Tony!

[Samantha Oltman @SamOltman]

Screenshotting this tweet so I have it long after Twitter's eventual end. Thank you, Kara!

[Samantha Oltman @SamOltman]

Lastly — even though I’m hyped about this change, I already miss my wonderful colleagues @voxdotcom, @Recode (RIP) & @voxmediapods. I couldn’t do this without everything I’ve learned from all of you. Thank you. (5/5)

[Samantha Oltman @SamOltman]

We’re starting with a limited narrative podcast series we can’t wait for you to hear. Please follow @goodluck_media for updates & sign up at https://t.co/zzSHlFLFo6 to be among the first to listen to our debut podcast, coming later this year. (4/5)

. @rebheilweil is a sharp, tenacious reporter who covers the wonkiest, nerdiest topics w/ depth & clarity. The future of AI? The supply chain? The new space race? The EV revolution? She's on it. Her growth as a reporter & expert in 3 years at @Recode @voxdotcom is mind-boggling.

[reb heilweil @rebheilweil]

making a rare twitter post to share that my role was eliminated during the recent vox layoffs. i truly loved working at recode. but now, i’m looking for new work. i’ve covered everything from space to the supply chain. here’s some of the recent work i’m most proud of:

. @DelRey is an incredible reporter who's got it all: Deep sourcing, canonical knowledge, clear writing, relentlessness, & an ability to connect the dots in a way others often can't. Beyond that, he's guided by his humanity & is a pleasure to edit. His next team will be so lucky.

[Jason Del Rey @DelRey]

1. Young Jason dreamed of being an NBA free agent but this is the closest I’m going to get: My time @recode is over thx to @voxmedia layoffs & I'm ready for something new. Have an idea for my next gig? Contact info in bio. For now I'll do some writing here
