self-deprecation is a very british trait, and problems can arise when the british attempt to do so with a foreign culture

eh, Rework was at the top of the last decade. They've only been noteworthy in the background since.

Now I'm wondering what skeletons are in Fog Creek Software's closet. They unionized, but they lost a third of the workforce anyway: https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/22/21268007/glitch-layoffs-substantial-number-coding-platform-union

they laid people off because they don't have a product and have no revenue tho, not to get rid of the woke troublemakers

i thought FCS was behind poo poo like stack overflow / discourse / fogbugz or whatever

nah. stack overflow is also owned by sposky and discourse spun out of stack overflow but fog creek (now glitch) only does glitch i think. i think even fogbugz got sold

20 departures out of 57 employees is actually 35% lmao

i suppose jason deserves some slight credit for acknowledging that the First Law Of Holes ("when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging") was in effect for him. as bland as his statement was, unlike all of their comms up until this point, it at least didnt make things worse

it's only 20 public departures. casey newton reported it's higher than that. apparently the buyout is still open so more people will probably leave once they talk to a few recruiters and realize they got better options
