Another data point:

"Spent half a decade at Amazon, and all the folk I see being cut today are strong, performant Amazonians. Not fifo, but cutting the high performers that made Amazon successful, the doers, the expensive ones, the L6+ folk that define the culture. This is what we used to call frupidity (iykyk)"

Looks like he filed for candidacy back in April 2025 [1].

Edit: added year to disambiguate.


I’d rather have more people run for Congress, even if they’re very unlikely to win. Maybe one of them will break through like Trump or Macron, but even if not. it pressure existing Congress-members.
