When they emigrated from the Irish counties of Cork, Sligo, and Dublin, my family sought the American Dream in the Golden State.
That story began with my great, great grandfather taking a job as a beat cop in San Francisco.

For those who don't remember, in 2010, McAfee had a colossal glitch with Windows XP that took down a good part of the internet. The man who was McAfee's CTO at that time is now the CEO of Crowdstrike. The McAfee incident cost the company so much they ended up selling to Intel.

Today's the 10 year anniversary since we launched @SlackHQ to the world.
Seems as good a time as any to look back and try to make sense of it all. Not every day a failed game company turns into a massively successful enterprise software company, after all.

NEW: I’m proposing the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution to help end our nation’s gun violence crisis.
The American people are sick of Congress’ inaction.
The 28th will enshrine 4 widely supported gun safety freedoms -- while leaving the 2nd Amendment intact:
1) Raising the minimum age to purchase a gun to 21
2) Universal background checks
3) A reasonable waiting period for gun purchases
4) Banning the civilian purchase of assault weapons
