What Jamie wrote
I have followed Tim Bray’s blog for years. I enjoy his writing, and have also enjoyed the things he has shared about AWS services he has been working on since joining Amazon. It was a total shock to see this article in his feed, but after reading it you get a clear understanding of his reasoning.
An announcement sent to internal mailing lists on Friday April 10th was apparently the flashpoint. Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa, two visible AECJ leaders, were fired on the spot that day.
This has been picked up by a number of media outlets, including the NY TImes. Tim also wrote an article with Responses to some of the questions that have come since this was written.
