@cwayne I'm consistently surpressing my urge to shitpost on your regular LinkedIn posts, phew...

@hyeyoo @cwayne By suppressing that urge you're robbing yourself of the experience of your boss calling you early Saturday morning to take it down because his boss, the CEO, didn't quite understand what you're saying and decided to be offended instead. An experience me and @lkundrak got early in our careers. 😁

@cwayne @hyeyoo you have to do it like me, write it so an ordinary person like a boss would read it and think it was really nice and professional, but also in such a way that Chris has flashbacks to a very unpleasant incident involving shrubbery that I won't mention

@hyeyoo @liskin @cwayne dunno, my urgent late evening boss call dealt with the role of inflatable dicks in a professional setup
:(

@hyeyoo @cwayne @lkundrak I do, it's silly. The CEO was sharing some marketing bullshit about how the product can be used for sentiment analysis of employees (it really couldn't do that), and I thought it'd be wise to remind him that perhaps if he used such a tool internally he might learn something useful. I may have used the "clean your own doorstep first" phrase to make that argument. Looking back, I don't think there was anything wise about any of it.

@liskin @cwayne @hyeyoo in the end we both learned the lesson:
in a professional setup, there's no place for inflatable dicks or honesty

@lkundrak @cwayne @hyeyoo I still struggle to understand where the line is exactly. Apparently this one was okay in a professional setup 😁

asian countries tends to be conservative a little bit (although I am not at all - that's the problem)

@hyeyoo @liskin @cwayne @lkundrak the problem? I don't see that as a problem at all!

Oh I didn't realize it's a deer before reading this; I was thinking "why the other one is rasing hands like that"

@vbabka @cwayne @liskin @lkundrak

Yeaaah, that's not a problem. It's just that when the majority of people in a country are conservative, I need to be a little more cautious to avoid issues in conversations due to different perspectives.
