What?? If this partner hasn't been able to get a smartphone and stay up on tech/hn during a 'jailbird weekend' maybe they are not so 'successful' or resourceful after all.

However, the last 9 months have been awash with cryptobros turning AItards, wholesale plagiarism posing as promises of performance, and stagnation for C suite squatters laying off the very people who built the systems of production... so maybe missing it is a blessing.

FWIW, i wish i could skip the last year of tech news.
