    "Rich people don't get rich by paying money to other people."

    I beg to differ. I, a very promising young man, skipped out on an
    internship with Cisco rival Lucent Tech & they alas are no more. They
    could have benefited from paying money to others.

    I mean seriously, what the fuck are y9ou even talking about?

    Tactfulness, much? Not just proclaiming the two on the same day, but
    in *the same blog post*.


    Oh, I know that company! That's the one that kludge guy hates because it
    has nothing to do with brutal intestines of assembly code but
    constructive primitives. He called it "a woke alternative where people
    thrive and makes shit spew forth his braaes."
