For this kind of interview you really need audio. Not hearing her inflection makes me wonder... why did Arrington/editor put her instruction to him in quotes?:

> CB: ... You are involved in a very tiny company.

> MA: Very tiny.

> CB: It probably takes some time just to convince yourself what to do. “So f*#k off!”

Anyway... enables him to provide a link-bait title to the "interview."

Yeah, I watched it on the stream, and it contextualizes a lot. The interview was not full-on jokey, but it was dry/acerbic and friendly. I would call it "playful sparring."

Interesting. To me MA's headline gave me the sense that Bartz must have signed off in disgust or something. But who can explain the motives of "stringers" (or whatever the title of blog employees who write headlines today).
