Interesting thread:
I started at this company 1,674 days ago. It's been a wild ride, with lots of ups and down, but I am still constantly motivated by our mission to return time. Time is finite. We waste it constantly. Lets help people use it well and then go play.

Something IS happening.
Forgive me, I seem to have unearthed an atrophied rind of hope.
Game Informer bought Game Informer. Giant Bomb bought Giant Bomb. They seem to be…happy?

AI customer support is so bad. So many companies are firing their account managers and replacing them with terrible chat bots. I don't mind it for consumer stuff, but for enterprise saas, it's wild to see. I pay you tens of thousands of dollars and I can't talk to a human? Blargh.
