Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
It’s true! What treasures hide in the past 60+ years of software practices?

100% recommend listening to anything this guy has to say and then some.

BREAKING🚨 GAMESTOP POTENTIALLY TRANSITIONING INTO A HOLDING COMPANY $GME
NEW TEDDY WEBSITE NOW REDIRECTS TO GAMESTOP SITE & GAMESTOP FILES TRADEMARK FOR TEDDY HOLDINGS
“Agile” is not “a mindset”. Simone Biles is agile. If I eat ice cream in bed for weeks watching Olympics thinking “This is how I would do that”— I am not agile because of that mindset. A “mindset” without action is a fantasy.

Ryan Cohen: “Why Does Everyone Want GameStop to Fail?”
$GME CEO @ryancohen:
“The media is an example. Why is it that you've got a ($EBAY) management team with no skin in the game, they're not builders, they haven't built anything themselves before, they've basically just been employees at major companies, they’ve been overpaid, I don't think they've ever broken out a sweat in their entire lives, why does everyone want them to succeed?
But when you have someone that, and by the way, I'm putting $500M of my own money into this transaction, I haven't pulled a penny out of GameStop, and it seems like everyone in the media basically wants us to fail, and wants them to succeed.
And you've got a board that's making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. They don't buy stock with their own money. They end up showing up to a handful of board meetings, and they're making a fortune. You've got a management team that is grossly overpaid, taking zero risk.
There's nothing more American than basically risking your own capital. So why does everyone want us to fail?
@friedberg:
“I do think that the media, in order to give you credibility, they're gonna have to acknowledge that all of their takes on GameStop just being a meme stock were wrong, and that there is actually a business here, and that there is value being created here, and that they missed that, and they got the story completely wrong.”

Software organizations repeatedly insist on spreading out. More teams, more projects, more branches, more versions. People: *TIME* is the enemy, not width. You can't thick your way to success.

Dear $EBAY Shareholders,
Proposal 4 is about your basic rights.
Right now, it takes 20% of all shares to call a special meeting. Proposal 4 lowers that to 10% so shareholders can act when the board will not.
GameStop and Ryan Cohen now hold about 9% of eBay and have offered $125 per share and a plan to increase EPS for shareholders immediately, which is a 40% premium from when they first bought eBay stock in February and a significant premium to today’s price, valuing the company at an all time high since going public. The board rejected this offer while themselves selling shares at much lower prices and, to my knowledge, no current director has EVER purchased eBay stock on the open market with their own money, only sold what they were given.
If Proposal 4 passes and GameStop reaches 10% ownership, they can call a special meeting and you can vote on who sits on the board and runs this company.
For too long eBay has been run by overpaid executives and serial delegators that have put shareholders and customers last. Vote Yes on Proposal 4 at the eBay annual meeting on June 17, 2026. The board should answer to shareholders and not the other way around. Compensation should not be risk free. There should be accountability for bad decisions that hurt the company financially.
Disclaimer: I am a shareholder of both GameStop and eBay and may benefit if Proposal 4 passes and Ryan Cohen gains greater influence over eBay. This message is for informational and advocacy purposes only. It is not investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any security, or a solicitation of proxies. Please review eBay’s official proxy materials and make your own voting and investment decisions.

Hi Friends. To answer a question that I have received several times today...
I DO NOT have a ...
"PRIVATE INVESTMENT PROGRAM".
Anyone suggesting otherwise is a scammer.
