This is really cool, I don't really recall another MMO server written in Rust like this.

He wasn't the "head of cybertruck" - if you look at his LinkedIn, he was a lead program manager. Still an important cog in the machine, but he'd been there for 8 years from an intern.

Model Y guy makes it sound like he was more of a key person, though.

Also as an Apple customer, iOS and macOS' latest releases _look_ nice, but they're unpolished and iOS still has some bugs. They were correct in their assessment. New releases used to have actual quality to them, now they feel rushed out.

Haha, just because there's been bypasses doesn't mean it hasn't been effective.

"He stayed on top by having the foresight to buy up anyone he could that even smelled like a competitor and had the luxury of still being under the radar at that time."

While it's easy to shit on such a strategy, that does in-fact make him a great CEO.

One theory is it's Sam Altman's way of wresting control away from the non-profit through diluting the shares.

It's not like he hasn't done such things before.

I mean that doesn't make any sense, but okay.

Anyone know what "that canonical article" is, as referenced at the very end of the timeline?

Using a 3rd person possessive pronoun like this isn't unusual or "promoting woke", it's English.

Can't really change much if the CEO and founder think it's a good idea.

I definitely think you should add more info to the landing page - I had no idea there was further information on the Gumroad page.

Valve is really bad at anti cheat. As in, their solution can barely be _called_ anti-cheat.

Because it's not for nothing.

Cheaters currently use entirely second PCs, or other extremely complicated methods of cheating, and are still getting caught.

Security isn't "for nothing", you make it as expensive as possible for cheaters/adversaries to win, and then keep raising the bar, to make the majority of users safe and secure.
