wingkongex··on Twitter to employees: all office buildings closed, badge access suspended
This whole ordeal is an absolute disgrace.
wingkongex··on Remote-first work is taking over the rich world – research hints at why
I work IT, fully remote since March 2020. At first, I was actually against the idea as I had never worked from home full-time before.

Went back to the office for the first time last month to meet a new exec. I could not believe how much more distracted I felt back in the office, and that experience is what 100% sold me on remote work. It is quite easy to forget just how much recreational conversation happens in an open office setting, and I find it hard to believe that people at large would naturally be more productive in that kind of environment.

Personally, I think they've become too big, too heavy and too expensive.

The XR is honestly a huge misstep, IMO. It's bigger, heavier and dramatically more feature-less than its 2018 counterparts. Who is this phone for?

wingkongex··on If you want to understand Silicon Valley, watch Silicon Valley
Dan Lyons, author of "Disrupted," is also on the writing staff for the show. Not quite Silicon Valley but if you read the book, some of the stuff from his time at Hubspot makes it into the show.

Judge surrounded himself with a lot of different perspectives on all of this.

wingkongex··on Notice of Data Breach
Did you used to care that some dude at CVS would have possession of your photographs for hours at a time when you went to get them developed?
