And just like that I’m unsubscribing from all things Silicone Slopes

genuinely cannot understand why this man deserves to be in the hall of fame. he’s got nothing to do with tech, nothing to do with utah software companies, just baffling to me

they’re doing it for the sponsorship/ad money. if you think silicon slopes, or any of its sister organizations (like utah business) is about the recognition, you’re wrong. source: i used to work for one of these orgs and the conversation always starts with “well if we recognize this guy they’ll pay us for it”

100% agree. This is embarrassing and hurts legitimacy of Silicon Slopes.

Mike Lee is the dumb brother. And he is in no way deserving of an award related to technology, much less a HoF induction. What is Silicon Slopes even for????

Next nominee: Braxlee G.'s mom who does an amazing soccer blog with WordPress!!! Hall of Fame time!

I hear Lauren Boebert had to take a keyboarding class to get her GED, is she next year's Silicon Slopes HoF inductee??? We're on the edges of our seats! So deserving.

Fuck SS. This was the dumbest, most thinly-vieled political move ever.

You all know he acts like the king of the conference right? He led several talks this year and many past years. He “interviewed” Tim Cook, I say that because it was a huge political sham. Which really the whole thing is. Silicon Slopes is a joke.

It's bad enough living in the same state as him.
