Ah Nat Friedman the guy who was fired from GitHub for being a terrible manager and has been doubling down all over Twitter to circle the wagons with Paul Graham and Elon Musk:

Avoid this guy like the plague.

FWIW, I have heard about that guy being a clown in a waaay different context (when he was at Novell / Suse). Making big, splashy and unrealistic promises and delivering nothing. Self promotion expert apparently.

Nat is doubling down on hard working builders and smart people. Oh no.

Envy is a hell of a drug. Avoid it like the plague.

Nat is aligning himself with those who have money and are pushing for poor working conditions. Nat himself has never built anything.

Highly skilled tech people don't sleep at their desk for Elon Musk. No one is envious of that.

I've noticed a lot of sycophant like behavior on Twitter towards Elon as well. He bought himself a big microphone and people are lining up to get in the spotlight. I don't blame them. You want an audience with the king. And given the background of the Twitter layoffs, some of the big VC principals are now posting that everyone in SV is lazy and overpaid. That pay packages are too high etc... This narrative is funny because it was these managers and executives that approved these pay packages and cause all of that. Instead blame the workers, right...
