    WEATHER ALERT: *SURGING* WINDS OF 1 MPH GREATER THAN NORMAL

  2. Only in the financial press is it legit to call a 1% decline a "plunge" or a 1% increase a "surge".

  3. We hire so rarely - from open call or otherwise - that I had to get a password reset on our hiring gmail account. Clearing cobwebs!

  4. We, Basecamp, have multiple projects on Basecamp called 'Basecamp something' that we use to improve Basecamp. Turtles all the way down!

  5. Basecamp is hiring another iOS developer: . Rare opening to join a great team.

  6. Just as you think Reddit leadership clusterfuck couldn't get any worse, read this Yishan joking-but-maybe-not post:

  7. So let me get this straight: Hulu costs roughly same as Netflix but also forces you to sit through ads every 5 mins. And people buy this?!

    This is getting to be a bit much

  9. Started the rails/actioncable-examples repo and committed the first example for live comments: – WIP, but something!

    French intelligence taps all AU/NZ Internet traffic. Probably explains why they didn't complain too loudly lately?

    Kid has nutbar antivax parents. Kid uses babysitting money to get vaccinated on the DL. YASSSSS RT : lmfao

  12. In any case, let's hope Steve is the returning founder that Reddit's been waiting for, and the heckuva job proclamations can take a rest.

  13. How about Reddit's board puts some skin in the game: If their next pick for CEO continues to clown show, it's their turn to resign.

  14. Reddit management: This weird thing is an amazing success! We don't have a clue how it ticks, but there be money in them subs! Digg it!

  15. But making blanket statements about the 160 million people using the site is.. well.. calling the kettle black.

  16. Reddit certainly has its fair share of problems. Deep and gnarly ones too. All the more reason it needs better leadership than this shit.

  17. As an avid fan and daily reader of Reddit, it's painful to see the board and an endless parade of unfit CEOs manage it so very poorly.

  18. A mere 8 months ago when Altman and the board ousted the last CEO they had "disagreements" with: "I expect that she’ll do an incredible job"

  19. Q: At what point does blame for the endless clusterfuck that is the management of Reddit land on the board? A: Two CEOs ago.

  20. Sam Altman: "Ellen has done a phenomenal job, especially in the last few months" - heckavu job setting Reddit on fire
