Mark Zuckerberg is cool now?! | Episode 34

This week we wonder whether Mark Zuckerberg is cool or just a ridiculous self-parody, everything Ethan said was good last episode has now been ruined, we come up with ideas on how CrowdStrike could have done a worse job handling the BSOD disaster, and we're wondering whether Meta are the new cool kids on the open source block.
