Not sure why you're being downvoted - it's from Jobs' famous Stanford commencement speech. http://news.stanford.edu/2005/06/14/jobs-061505/

Perhaps the original reply was (in a subtle way) pointing out that Sculley might not be as pragmatic about his own firing from Apple?

It could be sarcasm likening Kalanick to Sculley.

I'm sorry that you have had to use Hipchat so much that you know this and use it outside of it. A human can truly get used to anything.

Goodness, I’ve never felt old until now.

[austenallred]

I don't think that syntax is Hipchat-specific

[jnordwick]

It's originally from `ed` then `sed` then `vi`. It's been in use in email, Usenet, and IRC for a very long time.
