Interesting retrospective from three years and seven months at Meta.

Whew! Hard to extract the bullets from that piece.  Great writing, read the whole verbose piece, but not my favorite style. Good post, though.

"strange feeling of watching a place I loved take one more step down the staircase of its cultural ruin"

reposted link to article on bsky using "strange feeling of watching a place I loved take one more step down the staircase of its cultural ruin" as the title.  Let's see how it goes.

That line stood out to me too. I might have gotten more click-baity but I was posting from my phone while watching pancakes cook :-)

But yes, it's not about bullet points. More about the feel. That's why it's in Water Cooler rather than a topical subcore (see what I did there?)

>cook >phone

Heh, I can't imagine trying to post from a phone nor not being so one-track that I could do 2 things at once.

>click-bait

I didn't see anything better.  Without that line I'm not sure the article would even be perceived as Meta-negative.

You know, I used to be a maniacal mono-tasker, but watching pancakes cook is not enough to grab my full attention. I commonly have a book or a podcast, but today I had neither.

Generally I avoid typing on my phone because it quickly gives me tendon issues.
