But yes, after we were bought by $veryLargeCo my meeting load roughly tripled.
User “So since about 8 this morning…”
You “Wait. You knew about this 8 hours ago and only NOW you’re telling us about it, and this needs solving today?”
7 minutes later
You “hey. Found the problem, but unfortunately the fix needs follow up. Can you <perform rest of fix>”
45 minutes later
You “It seems like you’re away. Can you ping me someone else that can do this real quick”
12 hours later
User “hey. Sorry. Thanks, we actually figured it out and we didn’t need to rerun, it turns out.”
What's the point of that section?
Poking fun at similar sites that plaster tech company logos on their splash pages to make it seem like they're important, when any real affiliation may be tenuous at best.

> I commit to blaming others and myself for what is wrong in the world. I commit to being a victim, villain, or a hero and taking more or less than 100% responsibility.
No thanks. This is a uniquely neoliberalist perspective on the collective human experience. The sentiment is toxic because much of the circumstance of ones life in the 21st century is not under their control at all.
