Aww thanks! To be fair I didn't toe the party line when I was at Google (imo). Although, that caused me increasing amount of grief internally, until I left. From what I hear, things have gotten exponentially worse in that regard for folks still on the team.

I've been feeling more optimistic about Mozilla recently than I had in years, since their language in communication seems to have shifted from a Stepford-ish tone of corporate speak to something that feels more authentic and closer to their roots. I don't know if it's the new CEO, or a general cultural shift. (Or just me projecting from little intangible bits of evidence to something I hope for!)

Hearing about positive personnel shift like this now gives me a bunch more optimism on this. I really hope I can go back to the days of unambiguously being in support of Mozilla and their many awesome efforts, without always having to be a bit dubious about their next (mis)step.

Hey, Jake, not related with your post, but I just want to say that HTTP203 were one of the best web dev content that I've ever consumed. Amazing mix between humour and tech discussion. Thank you!
Aww thanks for saying that! I've been doing little videos on https://www.youtube.com/@FirefoxWebDevs (and accounts of the same name, pretty much everywhere). Although they're designed to be short, so they're pretty different to HTTP203.
This channel should definitely get more visibility ;)
co sign, tuning in to you and Das riffing was one of the highlights of my webdev career. bring it back!!

(lmk if you'd like an ai.engineer stage to do it on)
