At Salesforce, massive amounts of company resources seem to be going to exceedingly peculiar places, including — but certainly not limited to — actor Matthew McConaughey's pockets. According to the WSJ, the Hollywood star was being paid $10 million per year to be a "creative adviser and TV pitchman" for the firm.

tl;dr part of it is 'just pay some guys to sit in a nonprofit with a laptop and be part of the IT staff, but their job mainly is to get paid a lot and be able to say "oh, yeah, I have all this free time because I do IT for a nonprofit and as long as outlook is running they're cool with it" as they're submitting bad code and broken patches to open source.

I do not think Matthew McConaughey is a highly technical NSA spy, to be clear, it's just so funny that it's playing out the CEO overindungence way instead.

and just remember, the right email, to the right mailing list, with just the right amount of feigned wisdom and incompetence, can delay cryptographic implementation for months
