I came across this thread as I was trying to find out whether [redacted] s Twitter account had been hacked. I fear that all of this might ruin everything he has built. For about a year, I listened to every single episode of [redacted], current and older ones, and I learned a lot. I even purchased a 1-year subscription to support him, as soon as this was possible. I stopped listening around one year ago because I felt that most of the podcast was about satisfying his sponsors and it seemed to me that [redacted] himself had completely lost interest in the topic. He appeared to be less and less prepared and more and more unmotivated and bored. His questions came across as unqualified and lacking respect for his guests and their technologies. Is it possible that all I just described were symptoms of what culminated into the episode he's suffering right now? I have no experience with this kind of issues and wish him the very best, not only but especially after his (former) work has made me a better engineer.
