I read the whole thing and I have no idea whats going on. The post starts reminiscing the work of the year. Common end of the year post. Then an email is presented in which the conf people just say they are looking for other options. The only reason given is that they were "offline" a lot. (btw, what does that mean? Isn't git history being online?) And then the author starts giving a "I hate woke culture" speech. This reads like a GPT output with ctx=potato. I am definitely missing something.
