My single interaction with Vince and also my favorite memory:
On my first day at Respawn, I had to introduce myself at the morning meeting; I told the crowd that I previously worked at Casper, the mattress company. Off to my right Vince goes, “well that’s a first!”
We're heartbroken by the passing of our founder and dear friend Vince Zampella.
Vince was a titan and legend of this industry, a visionary leader and a force who shaped teams and games like Call of Duty, Titanfall, Apex Legends, the Star Wars Jedi series and Battlefield for our community in ways that will be felt for generations.
His impact reached far beyond any one game or studio. We will remember Vince for how he showed up every day, trusting his teams, encouraging bold ideas, and believing in Respawn & Battlefield. Most importantly, he championed what he believed was right for the people behind those studios and our players because it mattered.
We will miss him greatly.
Our hearts are with his family, friends, and all who love him.

OpenAI firing Sam Altman was definitely eyebrow raising
OpenAI rehiring Sam Altman within the same week was even more eyebrow raising
But what I find strangest of all are Sam Altman’s actual eyebrows

Mastodon should really just pick a server for you by default during the sign up process; probably the main reason people find it confusing to use
