Sounds interesting, thanks!

I was genuinely surprised that an explainer article like this exists. :)

I always forget looking up whether there isn't a couple decades of relevant backstory to the post before writing comments here.

I like how the text weasels around having to mention the name of "The famous explorer and former director of the USGS". The Egyptians are a nice touch too.

'Tis Sargon of Akkad. He brings a cat, and pizza.

In order to not fully dox myself, I'll just say the following: I came after Nils and left before Melissa did. Around early 2021, I found myself suddenly thrown in Ivo/April calls and feeling tremendously unhappy, not just because Pandemic Year II sucked in general and team dynamic went to shit but also because these marketing folks were discussing not-so-grand grand ideas and blatant GDPR violations while sending literal hundreds of inexplicable 👏 emojis into the chat window of every call.

That's a rather uncaritative interpretation of my words. I left of my own accord.

Unfortunately, I fell out of the corpo brainwash cycle a bit before that.

Hm... Reading the names of Ivo and Spencer triggered something in me. There are good people there too. These two are pretty obnoxious. Granted, the mock-German is ill-fitting for the two though, with one of them being an American, the other a Bulgarian(?) living in Germany.

Gripes. Used to be an employee there.

Colorblind sovcits need to beware.

You can test by applying the minty paste with a little brush: If it foams, it's a tooth.

Or did they change that?

No
