Remember when 280 characters destroyed Twitter? And when Microsoft destroyed GitHub when they bought it? It’s crazy that people move to aggressive panic insults when tiny, inconsequential things change on the internet. You can only use Word 97 for so long. Embrace change.

I just wanted to say, I’ve always had a very mixed signal here on Twitter. I talk about tech, politics, and human/philosophical topics. And I know between 1-3 of those have annoyed the crap out of you. If you’re seeing this, thank you for accepting the whole me.
