A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Man… I’m so glad I don’t work for big tech.

Adam Argyle got let go, just like that 🫰

After everything he did championing new CSS features at the CSSWG, making web demos for the Chrome blog and YouTube channel, speaking at conferences and so much more.

This 1000%.

Hoping @linda and others can help bridge the gap.

I really hope a lot of these guys see what the crypto space has to offer. The reality is FAANG is consolidating. A lot of these senior devs are getting laid off, and it doesn't matter what amount of work they did.

Lots of smart people could drop into a space that by definition values their time. I just wish they didn't ostracize the tech community in blockchains so much and were willing to work with us.

In college, I thought working on browsers and web standards was like, the coolest job in the world. Perhaps the only reason I would ever be motivated to apply to a FAANG company.

Then I started learning about the dubious privacy practices and insane work culture that I would be in for, from peers who got in and a computer ethics course I took.

Then I discovered blockchain/crypto/web3, and the rest is history.

This is insane.

I had a call with him maybe in February about CSS tooling internally. I had to keep it professional and basically not say that he was living my dream, of championing CSS and having fun while doing it.

And then this happens??

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

Oof. Getting shuffled around endlessly around projects that end up going nowhere is my nightmare fuel.

That's tough.

They definitely make decisions that make you feel like you're nothing. Fortunately I wasn't let go but I was moved from a project in a team reorg, that didn't make sense at all and they handled it extremely poorly.
