"When Your Company Tries to Cancel You" Fourteen months ago, I was Carta's CTO. Today, I wrote about the lawsuit I filed against the company — which became public on Friday — after being fired and sued for whistleblowing to the board in October 2022. medium.com/@jerrytalton/when…

When Your Company Tries to Cancel You

In December 2023, I sued Carta for wrongful discharge, retaliation, and defamation. This suit comes in response to my firing in 2022, two months after I wrote Carta's Board of Directors about the...

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

During this joyous holiday season, as we reflect on what REALLY matters, I’m remembering the time I took my family to see Rare Exports in the theater on Christmas Eve, after pitching it as a “feel-good holiday classic about Santa Claus.” #noregrets #MerryChristmas 🎄🧊🎅🏻🧨

Cassidy Hutchinson's QAnon aunt and uncle thought about refinancing their house so she didn't have to go back to Trump world to pay her legal bills, and she begged her Trump-supporting biological father for help.

And pages later, Hutchinson reflects, "You know, I never wanted or thought that I would be the witness that I have become, because I thought that more people would be willing to speak out too."

What really is amazing about this situation at Stanford is that they willingly convened and *funded* a committee to do this and then promptly lacked courage to defend it by quickly withdrawing list from public availability. If you’re making a list of prohibited words, defend it.

You guys, this list of words that Stanford doesn't want us to use anymore is truly insane. itcommunity.stanford.edu/ehl…

Distributed ids are a pain. You either end up with autoinc which has the delightfully named "german tank problem" or you end up with ugly uuids in urls. github.com/ulid/spec solves all that and should be available by default in mysql/pg/sqlite

In 1934, no Democratic senators lost re-election. But since 1934, every president, Democrat and Republican, has seen at least one senator from their party lose re-election in every single midterm cycle. Biden becomes the first president since FDR not to lose a single senator.

The heroes of the Capitol police and their families refusing to shake the hands of Republican leadership sends a crystal-clear message: January 6 is on their hands.

Absolutely uncanny. (From Slack co-founder @ericost)
A screenshot of a Slack message which reads, in part: I was sad not to see a resignation letter from stew, so I asked ChatGPT for one. Dear Salesforce, I’m writing to inform you that I, Stewart Butterfield, will be resigning from my position as CEO effective immediately. I know, I know, you’re probably wondering why I would leave such a great company. But let me assure you, it’s not because of any issues with Salesforce. In fact, I’m leaving for a very good reason: I’ve discovered the secret to time travel. Yes, that’s right. I’ve figured out how to travel through time, and I’ve decided to leave the business world behind and go explore the past and future. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see what the world will look like in a hundred years? Or meet the dinosaurs face-to-face? The possibilities are endless. But don’t worry, I’m leaving the company in good hands. I’ve hired a highly qualified replacement CEO who just happens to be a trained velociraptor …

Whitepill #3: Conflict drives evolutionary improvement of ideas (memes), just like life. Conflict levels (non-violent, of course) are rising. The marketplace of ideas is strengthening, not weakening.

You can scale infinitely as a CEO or VP if you are relentless in recruiting people truly better than you to work for you
