Steve Yegge – Google+ – Last week I accidentally posted an internal rant about…:
“That’s where the “Dread Pirate Bezos” line came from. I worked hard and had fun, but every day I honestly worried they might fire me in the morning. Sure, it was a kind of paranoia. But it was sort of healthy in a way.
I kept my resume up to date, and I kept my skills up to date, and I never worried about saying something stupid and ruining my career.
Because hey, they were most likely going to fire me in the morning.”
