To all those laid off by Meta. That sucks. REK is hiring for devs please DM. But to join you do a cleansing ritual to absolve your sins for working at Meta. You will have to be punched by a robot while chanting “down with Zuck” as initiation.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Hiring managers and founders

Many talented people over the past few years were declined an offer or even an interview @xAI. My apologies. @BarisAkis and I are going through the company interview history and reaching back out to promising candidates.

guess who got laid off today! 🫠 i am genuinely so confused and bewildered like, i spent the past week debugging the rivalry system while recovering from pneumonia and just in the past few days i’ve had multiple directors tell me how much they appreciate everything i do

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

Reviving this account to say: Almost everyone at Vimeo was laid off yesterday, including the entire video team. If you're looking for talented engineers, there are a few on the market. Sucks to see something I built killed by private equity in a technology company skin suit.

We won. Starmer abandons plans for compulsory Digital ID. This is a HUGE win. Well done to EVERYONE who has been fighting - from all political parties and none. A team effort. It proves that we can make progress when we come together to fight this appalling Labour Government.

It’s notable that the Vision Pro M5 was just announced for preorder, and even though most my network is VR people. Almost no one is talking about it. Likely because it doesn’t solve the 2 biggest issues I have with it. Form factor and price.

Supposedly Vision Pro can now do hand tracking at 90Hz. This is a big deal. Why? The original hand tracking was 30Hz, this was hugely problematic for gaming. The display was running at 90Hz and the hand tracking made it look like the game was lagging. Quest is 60Hz.

The person who does branding at Meta needs to be fired. The Quest headset made by Meta running HorizonOS with Facebook accounts playing Horizon Worlds developed by "Oculus" devs and publishing What in the hell guys.
