Tesla lay off story Source: https://t.co/mPNdRE9tBd 4/15 Monday 4:30am: Opened my laptop, account was de activated. Thought it was just another IT problem, so didn't think anything of it. 5:00am I usually check my emails while on my autopilot commute to work (1hr 30min drive)

I am extremely not down with this second wave of social media. I don’t have the energy for another round of invites, profile setups and finding people. I open the new ones and just wanna barf. Like, Ugh!! Can we go back to snail mail pen pals? 🐌📫

“Welcome to the jungle,” indeed. I was featured in this article. This same headline was being used when I started in tech. I was Sysephus for 20 years and finally let that boulder go. Read about it… https://t.co/2KR6ohypFX

The damage these NDA’s have caused. I myself signed 3 of these that I previously couldn’t even say I signed. If you are under-represented in tech, chances are you’ll face a decision of signing one of these at some point. This is big news!!! https://t.co/w0BHdF1qA6
