I first heard about Andy Yen from his claim that Gail Slater's appointment was proof the current administration will be more effective enforcing anti-trust and was the "party of the little guy." And lately he's saying stuff like this (from the linked 404 Media Article): >According to the report, an employee in Proton's security Slack channel urged the company to take at least a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live. Yen replied, at the end of August: "That's bullshit and loser thinking. Of course it's possible to be fast and secure." He added: "Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster." In a follow-up message he wrote "only losers think like that," and his message to the team was to "stop lovingly handcrafting all our code and use AI more." I think he's terminally online in a way that fried his brain. And I used to think his 88 tattoo was just a coincidence but now I honestly would believe anything.

Having your campaign’s mailing address be a Tutanota one was presumably calculated to raise Andy’s blood pressure.

What did Andy Yen really do? I mean it is clear what the "cancel force" accuses him of, but I am curious what he really did or said to trigger this. Feels way too organized to be organic.
