   I can say from experience on the other side that asking random employees of the company for API access on LinkedIn could work. People will inevitably drop a screenshot into Slack, ask who can help with this, and the right people will get ta

   I happened to have the local news on yesterday evening and watched this ridiculous interview with him [1]. He is comically arrogant. Not someone I'd like to hangout with, but an interesting (although dangerous) character for sure. [1]

   This is anecdotal, but when I host my buddy at my place (he is high diamond on all roles) sometimes he'll hop on my account (low silver on all roles) and steamroll. I'd say 3-5 wins per loss, and he tends to stay off his mains. Ye

    Without knowing anything about keyboards this seems like a 'no brainer' to me. In fact, it seems so obvious that I am surprised market forces haven't solved for this already. I am curious why no one has come along, and built
