       | I'm still surprised that he was hired by Apple (one of the
       | world's most secretive companies), after disclosing so many
       | secrets of a former employer. And he was only fired because by
       | Apple after being retroactively cast as a misogynist in a woker
       | age by people bad at parsing the license of creative non-fiction.
       | Life is absurd, and our best predictions futile.

       | But what it tells me is that it is easier to go from tech worker
       | to provocative media personality than to take the reverse route.
       | He condemned himself to practice a sort of journalism, or, at
       | best, to work for less visible companies.

       | And that is a great argument for the pseudonymous economy that
       | balajis is advocating. So that people can speak their minds and
       | maintain their livelihoods at the same time.
