~20 people over the course of 3-4 years to get to where it was reliable enough for reasonably important workloads.
It was a LOT of work.

Participated in 1) at Meta for a time. It worked pretty well for the most part.

That's in addition to contacting your representatives if you haven't done that already.
It's ok to start small. Thats far better than doing nothing at all.

I know. He's the CEO of SpaceX though, you'd think he'd know a fundamental relationship regarding a company he runs 🙄

One way to resist is to build things that are alternatives to the systems that are poisoned by the current administration.
This will require us to serve, rather than expect to be served.
The good news is that it can be simple, human things.

You will never lick a boot so well and so often that they let you take a turn wearing it.

This is the core of how I want to work, and I want to collaborate with people and teams who share this mindset. Frankly, self-proclaimed thought leaders who treat people as disposable don’t impress me.
If that turns some people away- so be it.

Here's your reminder that it isn't just the right thing to do- it's ultimately good for business. It sets you apart and inspires true connection and loyalty.

Kindness is NOT a weakness- it’s a leadership strength. In an industry driven by mass layoffs, relentless profit-chasing, and short-term thinking, staying kind requires resilience and conviction.

To yourself: You can’t sustain 60+ hour weeks. Rest, recover, and take time off- you aren’t your job. Finally, you’re allowed to make mistakes- just learn from them.

To employees: Build a healthy work environment, invest in their growth, trust them, pay fairly, and respect work-life balance. If layoffs must happen, support them through it. You serve them- not the other way around.

To peers: Support them, offer constructive feedback, and listen when they do the same. They’re collaborators, not competitors.

To customers: Truly listen, empathize, and solve their problems. Honor commitments, be transparent, and focus on lifetime value- not short-term wins. Customers are people, not revenue streams.

Your presence is a gift. Your time is finite. You have every reason to share it with only the people and things that you think are worthwhile. Period.
You are not alone. I see you. ✨

Abusive/toxic family members will try to gaslight you into thinking you're an awful human being for making this choice. Remind yourself that people that want the best for you will never try to make you feel that way.

Your mental health affects your physical health. Going no-contact can be done for survival, to keep your peace, and to establish firm boundaries around how others treat you.
If you made this decision, read the following very carefully: you are NOT a bad person for doing so.

Therefore, you can choose to go no-contact with someone for ANY reason. The vast majority of people do it because they have already tried to work things out. If you're reading this, it's safe to assume you've attempted that for a while and it hasn't worked.
