@araskin Isn’t productivity output divided by time? So, less hours, higher productivity. Unless they think there is 1 hour paid for under one hour of work & same output. Or, more importantly, did output decline?

Or is Series C CEO just babbling to cover up their poor leadership?

[Daniel Orias @dannyo152]

Well. Before I call down the curtain, know I’ve settled in at the elephantine alternative.

Look for pomCountyIrregs.

Look for #PomegranateCountyIrregulars

See you on the other side, I hope.

@ValaAfshar Oh Heavens to Murgatroid.

30 years ago I was part of all-nighters with my owners. And it was about delivering value to clients, not a “prove to me that you’re special enough for special me.”

Maybe I don’t get that unbounded ego is the innovation.

@RaeCameronG Here’s hoping your Sunday is okay.

@albertkinng @gruber Which is why, if one could, one should vote against an acquisition benefiting the acquirer.

[Daniel Orias @dannyo152]

@RaeCameronG If it comes true, sorry that it happens.

Just a sore arm for me. Got mine three weeks ago.

Boss: You know the 10X coder, does the work of ten?
Beleaguered Manager: Yes…?
Boss: Fire the other nine dead weights.
BM: Don’t the 10 people, as a unit, do 19X? Won’t 9 parts be undone?
Boss: Under! Performers! Hard! Core! Do It!
BM thanks Deity there’s no 10X manager theory.

@DeftCrankshaft @karaswisher Here’s an interpretation. In the summer he thought, somehow, that the tweet was mightier than the contract and expected a renegotiation to a lower price. He was wrong and the last few weeks have been about draconian cost cuts and poorly thought through revenue producing features.

@biancoresearch Finally, we are free to use the word “decimated” correctly.

@hallqvist_simon @ZoeSchiffer I think you beg the question that engineers choose their projects and roles.

(And, like an graphic designer, if you have a good portfolio, you’ll land somewhere and why opt to be one of the rowers on the good galley Twitter?)

[Daniel Orias @dannyo152]

End of an era. I discovered just now there’s no more chili at The Habit.

It’s a shame when someone that did something well stops.

@ZackBornstein @marydudziak @PomCountyIrregs on/off again purchase was getting more on: I might have to move.

Me post Elon: Hey, this Mastodon thing has a better vibe and I’m meeting new, smart people.

[Only the band account for now, we’ll see if I need more than pomCountyIrregs at https://t.co/4QV1ZXaGVJ.]

[Daniel Orias @dannyo152]

@ZackBornstein Me pre Elon: I like Twitter, all the smart people I’ve found, all the smart people who were in my past—hi, @marydudziak did you know I’m releasing tracks as @PomCountyIrregs; Mr. Wiltsey teaching us the blues lyric form started the journey.

Me as Elon (more)

@RWoodson20 Just don’t have a moment of weakness and go back to watching national news after January.

[Daniel Orias @dannyo152]

@mar1972 @JuneSummer1 A letter came to the house final weekend of the race explaining that he left the Republican Party because of its efforts to suppress the vote and take away civil rights. I noticed this in 1981, but Mr. Caruso waited nearly 40 years.

Does Ms. Perry even live in L.A.?

@LarsHaur Set it up in a browser, use Metatext for mobile.

I’m liking it.

[Daniel Orias @dannyo152]

@joshdthompson @karaswisher Is he righting the ship, or causing to list and founder on a different side?

[Daniel Orias @dannyo152]

@alirayl Faster and better if she partnered with Dolly Parton.

@azeem @asymco It’s almost as though being at a remove from regulation is more akin to bug than attraction.

[Daniel Orias @dannyo152]

@SheriFlanders Right!
