    I was a PM in Google’s ad system for a decade.

    I may be well be every bit as familiar as you (or more)with what datacenters were doing in 2016, and the business processes they supported. One of my most skilled coworkers had previously been at the NSA.

    I quit for a reason.

      I picked 2016 arbitrarily, but for what it’s worth, you know why I selfhost and de-Googled my life.

      Honest question: have you ever talked with a therapist or counselor about your past and anger? Not saying your anger isn’t warranted or valid. Not at all. But anger can be a drug and a boost and a survival tool until it turns you into a survival tool for itself.
