slightly OT: what does "red pill" mean here in this context? A wake up call? Adobe employees chose to enter the real world?
I'm thinking a matrix reference but I find it hard to discern the sentiment behind it.
- JohnJamesRambo 10y ago"The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are popular culture symbols representing the choice between embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red pill) and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill). The terms, popularized in science fiction culture, are derived from the 1999 film The Matrix."
