I guess if I were a billionaire, I would also seize on the resurgence of bro culture by cultivating an environment of working 90 hours a week, pretending that mental health isn't a real problem, excluding anyone who might push back on having pissing contests.

I'm the guy who brings an acoustic guitar to a bon fire BUT it's in an open tuning.

Them: "Can you play Wonderwall?"

Me: "Nope, the best I can do is Bron-Y-Aur Stomp from Led Zeppelin III."

Hi all, I've been lurking here for a while but given the recent Twitter exodus, I thought I'd introduce myself.

I finished up my philosophy PhD when the great recession hit, but serendipitously pivoted to tech. I'm currently at @Atlassian managing one of the largest fleet of databases in the world.
