The kind of takes that promote the stereotypes of self-centered americans.

What stops the DoW from going after me? As a Middle Easterner? And once it's done with me, why wouldn't it go after you? as its branches did, locally?

Nah, some developers are lazy, that is all, lets not dance around the bush with that one.
Most of those Electron folks would not manage to even write C applications on an Amiga, use Delphi, VB, or whatever.
Educated on node and do not know anything else.
Even doing a TUI seems like a revelation to current generations, something quite mudane and quite common on 1980's text based computing of Turbo Vision, Clipper and curses.
Do you think that writing Delphi, a language no one is buying, makes you hardworking?

Cloudflare | New York City, Austin, London, Lisbon, San Francisco, Seattle | Full Time
I’m hiring for some (IMHO) really fun product manager roles on Cloudflare’s Developer Platform (workers.cloudflare.com) - Workers Runtime - Set vision for our V8 isolate based runtime that lets people deploy JS, TS, Rust and Python to the globe in seconds with great dev ex. - Containers - Help build our new containers platform into the best place for both agent Sandboxes and stateless global apps. - AI Agents - Define what Agents on Cloudflare look like: from our AgentsSDK, to Sandboxes, to MCP Servers, “Code Mode” (see our blog) and more.
We’re a really technical group, and tend to like product managers that can straddle the line between engineer and PM. You should be able to set high-level vision, understand architectural constraints, and be technical enough to really deeply understand our users (developers).
email: <my-hn-username>@cloudflare.com - Please add “HackerNews” to the subject line.
Is this in office job or does it support remote?

This lecture from John Green is a great full summary on the history of TB
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D-gxaie6UI
He's also publishing a book about it https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/312472/everything-i...
Recently, John Green lobbied to get certain pharma companies to lower the price of tests and vaccines

Tuberculosis is not a medical problem, it's an inequality and access problem. Tuberculosis is fully solved in advanced countries yet less developed countries still suffer from it. Pakistan has 260 death per 100k capita, the US has 2.6. The highest 5 countries have at least 600 per 100k capita.

Oh, you could have said you work for Automattic!
How's the distribution of departures by tenure and level? We know one of them was Executive Director over WordPress—is she an outlier or does the departure list skew to the top?
And within the "WordPress division", is the spread even between groups, or does it skew towards some groups over others?
> is the spread even between groups, or does it skew towards some groups over others?
Spread mostly evenly. I'm not sure I'm allowed to share tenure, I'm mostly going to share what was here, but tenure felt logical, most people who left were on the 3-5 years range, most of people in Automattic joined in that period of rapid hiring.

I realize that, but the question remains: if 80% of the people who quit came from a single division, the percent of the company that quit is somewhat irrelevant. That division is the one we're interested in here, and it might have been completely gutted for all we know.
Division is probably the wrong term used, we have several divisions, you can categorize them into 2 categories:
- WordPress ecosystem (majority). Around 80% of the company.
- Non-WordPress ecosystem (minority). Around 20% of the company.
The % of people who left is consistent between those 2 divisions.

Any company has low perfomers, if you denay that, then I can't really engage with you here.
Low performances usually go on a performance improvement plan (which almost half who enter it graduate it successfully to stay).
People on PIP didn't want to take their chances and just took the offer.
This does not mean all 150+ people were low performers, some of the brightest, most intelligent engineers and designers left, and I do miss them greatly and hold so much respect for them. Many of them were dear friends of mine.
For your attacking comment, I'm engaging my actual profile and name, and you're engaging with a throwaway account that's less than a day old, so I don't know who's more spinless.
