Absolute banger of a @quinnypig.com post, you've probably seen it already, but my favorite part was the "how far did you read before you noticed this was Corey’s writing?" discussion after sharing (route53 DB reference)

I think that was entirely the cover ❤️
Starter Villain got a TV ad. Probably not coincidentally, it sold a ridiculous amount.
Word of mouth is awesome. Enthusiastic nerds on social media can move mountains occasionally. But a decent book tour or ad campaign would move a mountain faster.

Are you sure these are new workplace trends? Are you sure you aren’t just describing a routine phenomenon in an alarmed way?

this was a relief to read; cheers to @mipsytipsy.bsky.social for focusing on the heart of this - respect. I listened to VPs describe employees as idiots (most recently at Grafana; I developed an allergy to celebrity founders at HashiCorp) and, like. YOU CREATED THIS CULTURE. WE LEARNED IT FROM YOU.
I (finally) wrote up my thoughts on "Founder Mode" and the Brian Chesky morality tale about how he turned around Airbnb company culture.
This has made it into the Silicon Valley water table; it must be dealt with. There are some good nuggets within; let's dig them out.

“Founder Mode” and the Art of Mythmaking
I’ve never been good at “hot takes”. Anyone who knows anything about marketing can tell you that the best time to share your opinion about something is when everyone is all worked up about it. Hot …

I did not catastrophically burn my dinner, I'm MAKING HISTORY
If I could use Photoshop and wasn't lazy I'd mock up Indiana Jones holding up some burned toast and saying "it belongs in a museum"
Gold and silver and pottery are all very well but Colchester Castle has an actual *bread roll* that's survived since Boudica's revolt because it's too burned to rot, and that's quite something
