Today is my last day that I get to work with @funkatron. ZiffDavis was offering voluntary buyouts, Ed was having a rough time on the team and trending towards getting fired, so he took the package (which I recommended to him that he do).

When I joined the team in January I wanted to help Ed be the best version of himself. By being there he had someone who understood him really well and could pair with him on tasks and also stay in a better headspace

Ed and I were aware that this could alter our friendship for the worse but we successfully navigated those obstacles. We worked together on stuff…and I saw him scuffle to deal with a structure he couldn’t fully adapt to

Now he’s not going to be here and that is going to suck. I definitely helped but feel like I could’ve done more but my own responsibilities in this job precluded a lot of stuff.
Sorry Ed. I tried and wasn’t successful.

@grmpyprogrammer Better than it might have been. I've done that a couple times, and needed that more times than I got it. Big acknowledgment to both of you for – clarity, I think is the word.
