I read your newsletter, but it seemed to be lacking something.
Instead of just spouting the party line, how about touting the many, many devs we have working to make you guys obsolete?
Yes, we have new management, yes we have new attitudes among some of the worst abusers, yes the economics are starting reward brains, and yes our work speaks for itself, again.
No, not more razzle dazzle by marketing dipwads, no 'look at our shiny visages', no droning on and on and on and on until we buy just to get you to shut up, no give me money because I am pretty, no fancy hotels in china, or anywhere else, the days of the top down tyranny is ending.
The old paradigm is leaving, if you don't ride the wave into the next, well, I won't miss you much, at this point.
Kudos for running the servers, but once smteee's™ arrive, ya'll's other ideas have never been well received by the other workers.
Your marketing language is showing.
Here this might help you be better received among those without the benefits of comfortable lifestyles.
