 @lmorchard @kissane I don't know. I've talked to some moz devs on 'the orange site' and its clear they are ex-Google, or drinking the Koolaid in hopes that they'll get to work on Chrome some day. I love the ideals around why Mozilla was formed. I absolutely hate everything about the organization as it exists today. Its clear that whatever paper those ideals were written on was used as a napkin and disposed of. I still use Firefox, but I just loathe the BS coming down the pipeline. 6 comments
@lmorchard @kissane Surely. But if you are a corporation with a specific goal, there are certainly people you don't want to hire as they'll disrupt that goal with their brainwashed bullshit. I'm not sure you can make any kind of positive impact by working at Facebook unless you're hired to turn off servers.  @lmorchard @kissane Good luck to them, their therapists will profit greatly if they ever wake up.  @miah @lmorchard Yeah, the Manifesto is still such interesting reading, in both the original and slightly edited later version https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/details/ I'm 100% sure that a lot of senior people at Moz have felt that they're really serving those principles, and still do, and yet. |

@miah @kissane Well, there's kind of an exchange of folks between all the tech companies. Some ex-Firefox folks went to work on Chrome at various points, I think some went to Apple for Safari, and some came from those teams to Mozilla. Some went to Facebook because they saw opportunities for impact. Folks go all over the place
