Yeah, im a chronic uncapitilizer in our work slack and HN, but if I put out a 'communication' then I always shift to 'regular' grammar.

Its an extremely annoying trend among a subset of the tech industry who think it makes them cool

		Is there some reason your lack of apostrophe and period is supposed to be less annoying than their lack of capitalization?

		Honestly the whole Silicon Valley shtick is becoming old. The fake positivity, the quirky writing style, the "I think the most important quality is sticktuitiveness" linkedin-esque bullshit. Not to mention the cargo-cult that is so obvious in every GPT-wrapper startup. This was mostly born out of counter signalling the businesses that valued serious people over competent people in the 20th century. But, like with all things, the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction. I believe the next wave of tech countersignalling will be people who actually do take themselves seriously, maybe even dress in suits, etc..

I noticed that as well and it oddly made me sit for a minute to think about it. I ended up deciding that it landed a bit more 'real' and unfiltered. Could be interpreted many ways. Nobody knows the actual why but (possibly) Jack.

It was a 100% intentional act. These people simply don't care and they want that be known. It's in their ego.

There is no good way to announce layoffs.

No matter what he wrote, it was going to be insulting.
