#12Is everyone at google really insecure? Do they not realize that normal mortals do not feel the need to announce to the world that they left a job?

It appears to be something related to the sci-fi book "Ninefox Gambit", based on a really cursory google search.
Not having read the book I can't really speculate further.

#14how did this end up here? there is no blog in the address, i dont know the person, a google search doesnt show anything from the domain. So either the author or someone with direct communication posted it (for what reason?)
Also, how did this end up in the front page of HN? This doesn't have much information compared to other periodic "Leaving Google" type posts.

It's an (as far as I can tell) unlinked page on their personal website. You have no idea who the intended audience is - I suspect it's not "the world", but people they know and who might be interested in the why.

Yours in a world where nothing functions properly.

I get the sense that this person is probably a nightmare to work with. I don't necessarily disagree with many of their opinions, but the sense of self-importance is off the charts. Realistically, this person is probably a peon in a massive company and had very little impact.

#18> What are you doing next?
> I'm going to motorcycle around Washington. I'm going to camp in the Hoh Rainforest once the weather warms up. I'm going to swim 100 miles (over the span of several weeks). After all that, we'll see.
I feel like I can relate to this about as much I can relate to an Oscar winners speech.

Yeah I want to double down on this,
This reads like a personal goodbye that somehow got published here.... probably not for the world
