- Last Friday was my final day at @intercom, the company I cofounded 10 years ago along with @eoghan @destraynor and @davebarrett. It has been such a privilege to have been part of the adventure for so long!
- Had to try it myself. So fascinating!
It really is incredible. - Replying to @ciaran_leeIf fire was discovered today, a load of tech industry midwits would try to ban it
