Have all of the folks I worked with at Mozilla and Pocket on my mind today. Heartbreaking news that they are laying off about 25% of the company 😔 https://blog.mozilla.org/... Some wonderful, talented, passionate folks there. If you are hiring, keep an eye on #MozillaLifeboat.

“Changing World, Changing Mozilla” I read this letter, and while it's full of beautiful words about the future, I don't fully understand where Mozilla wants to go and how. I'm sorry for all the people losing their jobs today. https://blog.mozilla.org/...

Wow, Mozilla is laying off another 250 folks. https://blog.mozilla.org/... Hope y'all are finding new work soon! I'm just baffled by how badly Mozilla continues to be managed across various leadership changes.

Starting the day with the devastating news that Mozilla is laying off 250 people, about a quarter of the company. https://blog.mozilla.org/... There are so many great people there, especially the browser engineers who invented much of the web... this is going to be painful. ❤️😩
