  I think he was playing bullshit bingo, and put in 100x for the win.

Before reading this post I made a bet that I will find a word “tokens” inside. I won!

As a customer of ClickUp, I have very little confidence in their engineering ability. Leader calls for “100x” development, and I think he’s being more honest than most - they may actually *need* to burn it all down to make it better, and now would be the time to initiate that.

Ah yes, ClickUp, the issue tracker that was so sloppy there wasn't a single person at my company who was upset about our switching to Linear, and which used several gigabytes of RAM on the main page. Excited to see 100x of this.

I didn't think it would be this hard. But goodbyes are always hard, especially when I am the one saying goodbye. Today, effective immediately, I, Gavin Belson, founder and CEO of Hooli, am forced to officially say goodbye to the entire Nucleus division. All Nucleus personnel will be given proper notice and terminated. But make no mistake. Though they're the ones leaving, it is I who must remain and bear the heavy burden of their failure.

only 100x? why not go beyond 1000x? I swear, the tech world is in the state of some global AI psychosis
