Daniel? He’s been a friend of mine in person for over a decade. I knew him long before his exit from tech into working for himself. He’s a wonderful human being, a kind and gentle man who enjoys mentoring people and being with his children.

He’s also building his business I assume, which I guess entails a certain amount of salesmanship and playing the game if your business is in the orbit of social media. I’m always surprised by the personal hot takes

More like personal dumb takes.

I admired him in his early days too. Yet lately he really stands out as a fucking idiot in my twitter timeline every once in a while to the point of having to block him.

A full-grown adult man just chasing clout, what a fucking clown.

Agreed. I used to go on Twitter almost exclusively for his content. Now I have him blocked. What an embarrassing fall from grace all in search of the next like and follower. Addiction to engagement claims another one. Society is materially worse off converting talented workers into social media course selling charlatans.
