Astronomer, the tech firm at the center
00:00:04
of all the drama, has a new temporary
00:00:06
spokesperson. Let's hear from her.
00:00:08
Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions
00:00:10
over the last few days and they wanted
00:00:12
me to answer the most common ones.
00:00:16
Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run
00:00:19
Apache Airflow.
00:00:20
I think it's genius. Absolute genius. I
00:00:23
think that is probably the best
00:00:24
marketing move so far of 2025. Even if
00:00:27
it goes against traditional instinct of
00:00:29
making you look bad, if they had spent
00:00:31
$200 million on awareness campaign, they
00:00:34
couldn't have got this type of
00:00:34
awareness. She's been perfectly cast.
00:00:36
She is a great actress, but she's like,
00:00:38
"Put the term detox in front of
00:00:40
everything and charge 75 bucks on it."
00:00:42
I do have the vagina scandal.
00:00:44
Oh my god. Can I sell my ball sweat and
00:00:46
call it detox for 75 bucks?
00:00:48
No, you can't cuz nobody would buy it.
00:00:50
But hers perhaps.
