10/29/2022, 3:26 PMJust a quick note on The Future of Comedy - loved the Ligma performance. It felt like Nathan For You where the scheme was to find engineers jobs by showing them getting fired from prominent places.
Given the grim job market in 2023, it might be high time for hijinks.

But it feels like it's safe to ask if "The Future of Comedy" is a real thing, or if you're doing a bit :)

10/29/2022, 4:28 PMIts safe to say it’s improv 😉. Given that there’s a future of [coding, work, text, [recursion]], I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a Ministry of Parody.
The Ligma bit was just a couple of guys w boxes outside Twitter HQ. Reporters assumed they were fired Twitter employees.
