If a company wants to up-level their design, marketing or research teams, you must hire people who understand people.
Considering the number of layoffs in the tech world in the last few months, those who are left behind are soon going to be met with a sad reminder of the many colleagues they just lost.

Your identity is in an ‘unsupported format’: the loss of digital, cultural archives
Digital music’s renaissance — iPod, illegal downloading, and digital recording software like ProTools — coincided with and created the popularity of Myspace, establishing a massive community of music-lovers, music-makers, and music-stealers. Bands and individuals uploaded millions of MP3s — some of their own music, some they’d downloaded on LimeWire. The sound of youth in 2006 was a tinny din of 128kb/s, but it was beautiful.
INTRO
It’s near intoxicating to work for one of the most powerful corporations in the world. It’s so exciting to know things that other people don’t know and to get to use products before anyone else. You feel like you’re part of a really cool and exclusive club. It’s powerful to watch news reports get written about products and features that you helped build. There’s no feeling like it. It’s an incredibly strange and exciting feeling.
There’s also nothing like realizing that you have unwittingly become a small and unimportant enemy of said corporation. A liability. A problem. A troublemaker. Immediately, nothing is real and everything is confusing.
