- beachtaxidriver 7mo agoYeah I'm with you.
- mlsu 7mo agouwu i'm a smol bean also you're fired
- JamesSwift 7mo agoYeah, im a chronic uncapitilizer in our work slack and HN, but if I put out a 'communication' then I always shift to 'regular' grammar.
- jcims 7mo agoI noticed that as well and it oddly made me sit for a minute to think about it. I ended up deciding that it landed a bit more 'real' and unfiltered. Could be interpreted many ways. Nobody knows the actual why but (possibly) Jack.
- Legend2440 7mo agoThere is no good way to announce layoffs. No matter what he wrote, it was going to be insulting.
- ssnistfajen 7mo agoIt was a 100% intentional act. These people simply don't care and they want that be known. It's in their ego.
- jcdavis 7mo agoIts an extremely annoying trend among a subset of the tech industry who think it makes them cool
- jaccola 7mo agoHonestly the whole Silicon Valley shtick is becoming old. The fake positivity, the quirky writing style, the "I think the most important quality is sticktuitiveness" linkedin-esque bullshit. Not to mention the cargo-cult that is so obvious in every GPT-wrapper startup. This was mostly born out of counter signalling the businesses that valued serious people over competent people in the 20th century. But, like with all things, the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction. I believe the next wave of tech countersignalling will be people who actually do take themselves seriously, maybe even dress in suits, etc..
- zzrrt 7mo agoIs there some reason your lack of apostrophe and period is supposed to be less annoying than their lack of capitalization?
- chasebank 7mo agoI write most of my emails purposely misspelling words / lacking proper capitalization so the recipient knows it wasn't written with ai. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- koyote 7mo agoI found it completely unreadable, similar to reading code without syntax highlighting. Maybe he should have had AI fix up the grammar/spelling for him...
