Wren ReillySometimes I think about how to easiest way to fail an interview for a leadership position is to say you will do end user research as step one of any plan.
I wonder about the people Mozilla didn’t hire.
AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR I WILL MAKE EVERYONE USE FLORP! WHAT IS FLORP? I DON’T EVEN KNOW BUT I AM CONFIDENT ABOUT IT!
this is still about Mozilla
IF WE PUT UMLAUTS ON IT IT WILL BE GDPR COMPLIANT, RIGHT? FLÖRP RELEASE SOON!
INSTEAD OF READING GRANT APPLICATIONS WE WILL MAKE PAPER AIRPLANES OUT OF THE COVER PAGES AND RACE THEM!
UX IS FOR TOUCHSCREENS!
ADMINS ARE NOT END USERS!
THE COMMAND LINE ONLY AND NO DOCUMENTATION! YOU MUST GO THROUGH THE THUNDERDOME TO BECOME ROOT!
THIS WILL HAVE NO CONSEQUENCES LIKE MAKING IT MORE LIKELY THAT A PERSON ON CALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WILL DELETE SOMETHING IN PRODUCTION!

@akareilly Funny you say that... https://floorp.app :P
@ainmosni I used to joke that every noun would be a Javascript framework eventually and now we’re down to random noises to name things.
Thinkb4u@akareilly @tante The problem with all these forks is always there. How things are progressing all pieces of software that matter will eventually become closed source and then they will shift the ecosystem in a way that it will break the functionality of the open source forks.
Reginald@akareilly I interviewed with Mozilla many years ago. In one slot, I met a senior engineer and we talked about engineering, process, development culture, and traded stories about things we had learned.
The process fizzled out, and I was not inspired by the particular tooling they were hiring for. But I regretted not working with that engineer, whom I liked and respected.
However... I ended up at PagerDuty. And on my first day, there he was: @irvingreid.
Mozilla's loss was my gain.
I always like hearing these stories. How amazing would it be for this to be the standard? Conversations about making things better instead of stemming the tide of buzzword-driven or vibe-coded projects.
yoasif@akareilly One day I'll have to tell more people about my (shambolic) attempts to get hired there.
