@elonmusk You're such a fucktard. What happened?

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@Acyn If they could, how would you know? They certainly wouldn’t tell you.

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@NETGEAR Whoever is testing on Orbi the notifications are going to #prod

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@simoneady +1

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@NFL officiating today was the absolute worst I have ever seen! WTF?

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@adamhjk Also, they figured out a [familiar] license model. I’m sure @thematttcarter played no small role in that! 🙃

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

Hell yeah! Thanks to our investors for all the support.

[Symend @SymendInc]

To support the growing consumer demands and market need for a change in digital customer engagement, we have raised over US$40M in growth capital.

@jasoncwarner Like fully burning it down. I’m shook.

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@adamhjk I’ve always loved CC. But I was blown away by how good he was! I don’t remember him being exclusively a Flying V guy?

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@adamhjk Couldn’t agree more. She absolutely rocked it last night! Made me so happy.

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@PGE4Me 10+ hours without power in our #pleasanton neighborhood. Just drove around and not a single PGE crew on sight. WTF is going on?

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@adamhjk I have to come clean and say that until a few years ago, I thought Mama Kin was a GnR jam. Then the Aerosmith original popped up on a playlist and I was 🤯. It decayed my confidence in everything I knew to be true.

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

In an era where media has completely lost the script on journalism, @verge takes the first step back towards ethics and sanity in reporting!! Congratulations on your leadership. I hope your colleagues and competitors are taking notice. #journalism #ethics #TruthMatters

[nilay patel @reckless]

Today we’re updating The Verge’s policy on agreeing to “background” from tech companies. We’re doing this publicly to provide cover for other newsrooms covering tech to do the same. It’s getting a little ridiculous out there. https://t.co/kCJLzFn7RX

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

Agreed. 100%.

[Adam Jacob @adamhjk]

This is going to work. Intel has everything to win. Gelsinger will go down a legend. Probably need to buy intel once it hits bottom ad hold for a decade. https://t.co/XJNpdcu8y4

[Adam Jacob @adamhjk]

Hey @satyanadella and @natfriedman - here’s how you monetize VS Code. 1. Stop producing proprietary plugins - it’s all open source. 2. Make VS Code derivatives that are tightly integrated and supported. (See also JetBrains). These you sell for $$, but vet and support.

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@adamhjk I’ll throw my hat in too. Say the word and I’m there for a pitch session!

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@adamhjk @jasoncwarner Who’d have thought that a discussion about Rawls would have lead us to that endpoint? I love my memories of that part of our collaboration!

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@adamhjk @jasoncwarner I am running a .NET shop at Symend now, and feel a lot of disappointment and concern about that now. I guess I’ll be having a convo with my MSFT team next week looking for some indication that they are committed to the investment I’ve put into my .NET code base.

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@adamhjk @jasoncwarner How can they flush it away by listening to some entrenched old MSFT leaders that missed the last decade? There is only 1 company that has a chance to take the fragmented IDE/Dev lifecycle space and reunite it and they can’t see past their own shortsightedness.

[Corey Scobie @cscobie]

@adamhjk @jasoncwarner But when they finally woke up and went all in on Azure/Cloud and abandoned monetizing the OS, I was sure they had turned the corner. They were on the precipice of turning the dev tools world back into a winner take all opportunity with VS Code.
