Confirmed that Sourcegraph let go 8% of staff: 24 folks on Tuesday. No engineers were let go, but 5 directors were laid off and non-tech teams impacted. The curious part of this is how Sourcegraph has yet to touch its $125M raised in 2021. Tells a lot about market predictions.

She’s not the only one quitting for not wanting to work on stuff promoting or endorsing crypto. Talked with a software engineer who quit Block after the course changed to crypto and another dev leaving a FinTech pivoting to crypto. I applaud people voting with their feet.

Post details

Well, now that it's public at least I can talk about it: This is a major reason why I quit, and specifically why I quit much earlier than I had originally planned. I don't want to be associated with anyone dealing in crypto nonsense.

From when I talked with the software engineer quitting a FinTech venturing into crypto. My stance on crypto is the same: I don’t endorse it, don’t promote it, have refused and will keep refusing to take money from crypto companies. I did my research and it’s my own, firm stand.

I came out as gay to my work colleagues and some of my friends several years ago. I came out to my family last year. Everyone is so supportive. But it still feels like I’m living a double life because I don’t discuss it publicly. I’m changing that, starting now 🏳️‍🌈 Happy #pride !

My heart is broken. Today my brother Scott passed away unexpectedly. He was so young. He had a loving wife, two young kids, and a newborn. It will take a community to get through this, and I will absolutely be asking for everyone's support to help get the family through this.

Josh Simmons (@joshsimmons)Tue, 21 Jun 2022 00:18 +0000

I miss Dropbox (the product) circa 2012. It was perfect. It was done. A growth mindset forced all sorts of weird products that I don’t want. I miss the small, lightweight, always works file syncing. This seems like a renewed opportunity for a small lifestyle company.

It's simple "CC" is for passive aggression "BCC" is for gossip and snitches. Those options makes up the full, tepid spectrum of professional personas, or "prosonas" as they hate to be called.
