Stopped halfway through thinking "Damn, this Mike Beckerman is a piece of work. Doesn't understand English grammar let alone software development."
Looked him up...
>Michael Beckerman is an American lobbyist who is vice president at TikTok.
Not surprising at all.
- y-c-o-m-b 9d agoI've been around these execs outside of professional settings. All they care about is their status (money) and getting blowjobs from their aides. I am not exaggerating. They do not give a damn about how software should work. The execs with humble beginnings often get sucked into the culture and eventually exhibit the same characteristics as the others within 5-10 years. As they say, dopamine is a hell of a drug.

- kylecazar 9d agoThat must be a different Michael Beckerman. This one was an executive at Microsoft in 2002...
- johnnyApplePRNG 9d agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Beckerman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Beckerman graduated in 2001, although it says nothing of any employment at Microsoft on his Wikipedia page... so you might be right?

- muglug 9d agoIt specifically says he worked for the US gov during that period, so your comment needs an edit
- colinhb 9d agoWrong Michael Beckerman. Source: I know the TikTok Beckerman, but not the MSFT one.
- waltwalther 9d agoFor sure. This is consistent with how I would expect the TikTok generation to communicate. I would also add that not only does he know nothing about software development, but he knows even less about the basics of using his own computer.
