I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.

I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.

Please, share this. 🖤

Shoutout to Len White, my friend & mentor during the run of development for Breaker leading up to early access release, who carried this talk with his charm & expertise & who is also blissfully non-present from most of social media including Bluesky.
