Does your company have a product orientation?

Yep:

Anyone else think it's weird how candidates aren't supposed to lie on their resume but it's cool for employers to lie in their job descriptions?

I wish the 3 people that post regularly on Theeads would come here and join the 2 people posting regularly on Bluesky :/

Friendly reminder... Financial and operation goals aren't a strategy.

There is a falsehood behind the idea of individual freedom and choice when the surrounding system or situation is inherently coercive.

Tragically it's not just the right wing using this playbook. They're more blatant about it, but Dems are also using "protect the kids" and "anti terror" to push for control of Internet speech and it pisses me off

If Elon wanted a shitty banking app that you can post socially on, why didn't he buy Venmo instead?

I deactivated my threads account already but it turns out you can’t delete your threads account *without also deleting your Instagram account* so maybe just don’t sign up!

They’re needed? Advertising is killing content. What we need is some new ideas about monetization, that don’t rely on exploring people’s privacy.

Got the chip door up. Needs paint and a latch, but the hard part is finished! Now just roosting bars, egg boxes, a ramp out of the coop, wire fencing, and mesh covering the soffits.

Regarding a people, country, or humanity...what does "progress" mean to you?
