With all their social media pages on fire and all, posting this is certainly quite the ... choice.

> The memo is not an in-depth engineering document. It does not delve into the specifics of security, reliability, or infrastructure. Amazing. I think South Park did it first. > Your new job as a builder will let you do more and have more impact than you ever have, if you seize the opportunity. Will the compensation match this amazing outcome?

Pretty torn on this. One the one hand he's not wrong. On the other, it probably means proton are going to leak everyone's email to the world and cease trading shortly afterwards. Since I'm a customer and don't care _at all_ about any "feature work" that might be being done on email at this point, this isn't great. Leave the damn thing totally alone would seem much better.
