Who here would want to work for this arsehole?

But then again, I wouldn't have worked for twatter before he took over. Or any of the other social media companies.

These companies set the bar rather high. Your typical gigging Java/C# developer wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting in.

You think Tesla and SpaceX would have been successful with 1000 permie NothernladUK clones working 40 hour weeks . Taking their 1 hour lunch breaks to eat their boring spam sandwiches.

But then again, I wouldn't have worked for twatter before he took over. Or any of the other social media companies. Nor a lot of other US companies for that matter. Did that 20 odd years ago, never again.

Oddly about 7 years ago I had a couple of well-known US tech companies interested in me and they approach me more than once. After reading all the stories about the horrific sexism in the companies I turned them down. (Plus I didn't want to be a permie.)

Tim Berners Lee? Seems like a nice chap.

Richard Branson is quite friendly based on one meeting.

The few of the senior Apache team I worked with were good fun.

I was referring to his use of mind altering substances on a talk show.

Which doesn't explain quite why he's such an irredeemable arsehole.
