@67w People have been selling immortality since ancient times... And this stage and Panbora's box are just another stage... Power is not an empty word. The same is happening with the AI hype.

@c2 We will work together, and continue to work together, to address these issues. And to work together as we continue to work, operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements in NGINX.

Back in the day, they called this getting “fired”. They didn’t announce firings. You just found out about it because someone was escorted out or didn’t show up anymore. It was more humane than RIFs. They told you that you su-ked at your job. Whereas RIFs just randomly get rid of people and lack courage from management. Look it up.

This email account is no longer active.
Slack (deactivated)

That’s what left from “going above and beyond” and “we are the family”.

Yes, some people “are no longer”. Some meetings cancelled, some meetings organised. Nobody knows what’s happening. Everything was fine and ridiculously easy… Reality hits hard.
