Wow, the ALL CAPS and emoji are nice touches. Here's a sample:

  NO MORE TALKING ABOUT OUR COLLAPSING SOCIETY  

  SOCIETIES COLLAPSE. IT IS 100% NORMAL AND
  PART OF THE NATURAL CYCLE. BUT BEFORE THAT
  HAPPENS WE HAVE A BUSINESS TO RUN."

Uh oh. My post was flagged clearly by someone who didn’t read it or understand it was satire…

My favorite part:

NO MORE TALKING ABOUT “MISTAKES”

I DONT MAKE MISTAKES SO I CERTAINLY DO NOT LIKE BEING REMINDED ABOUT THEM. REALLY THERES NO SUCH THING AS A MISTAKE, JUST CREATING OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN. AND ONCE LEARNED THERES NO POINT IN GOING BACK OVER IT AND THINKING ABOUT WHETHER THE “CORRECT” (WHAT DOES THAT WORD EVEN MEAN?) DECISION WAS MADE AT THE TIME, OR MAKING A CHANGE IN LIGHT OF NEW INFORMATION. LIVE IN THE NOW. AFTER ALL, THE PAST IS JUST A STORY WE TELL OURSELVES! LETS TELL BETTER STORIES.

Good OPSEC practice using Medium for your anonymous parody ramblings. I know some people genuinely wanting to be anonymous and their full legal name is in the whois records of the domain!

This blog post mainly succeeded at really annoying me.

- He writes all his stuff in all caps :/

- Wants to bring back "don't ask don't tell" apparently

- Same with BLM, he wants to stop hearing about it. As if the problem is solved?

I'm glad I don't work for his company.

PS: Maybe I'm missing the sarcasm here but if I do there seems to be no point to it.

Edit: Ahh I had missed the news about basecamp, thanks for the explanation. Now this makes much more sense.

For whatever it's worth, I generally agree with the post's message but think it is poorly-written satire and found it annoying as well.

This is a parody of the recent basecamp memo that’s on the front page right now.

This is 100% satire
