> calls his coworkers NPCs.

Seriously, that's kind of a "fuck you" moment to all the people who helped him earn those millions isn't it?

Between this and hanging around with the head-cases at DOGE, I think the first thing he should spend his money on is a shrink.

To be fair, he was not calling people at Loom NPCs. He was saying that he didn't feel like joining a big company Atlassian coz he feels he would be surrounded by "NPC coworkers" there.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with atlassian employees. High and mighty horse he's on there

Dude really sounds like a bozo again, being brutally honest is no excuse to be unkind

Yeah, self-described "brutally honest" people lean a bit much on the brutal part. You can be direct and kind.

there's absolutely something wrong with the fruits of their labor though, which I am forced to use every day

Atlassian presumably also hired a bunch of his people from Loom, so to some extent he is implying that all the Loom folks became "NPCs" during the acquisition.

I've seen several founders who kept their team together within a bigger company after a buyout, and went on to do pretty significant projects together with big company resources. It's not a given that you have to be swallowed up by the bureaucracy

As a proud ex-Atlassian employee, fuck this guy.

You forgot:
