Probably not in the direct sense, given that he uh ‘used to work’ at Blizzard.
As a game tester.
By that metric, I am an ex MSFT employee, because I did that routinely as well.
(I then went on to actually work for MSFT as a database admin/dev, but you get the idea)
He’s is an extremely useful and extremely idiotic useful idiot, like uh, Tim Pool.

As a game tester.
Maybe. All I read is that he was QA. That can mean anything from game tester to someone who tests internal tooling. I haven’t seen an actual description of his role.

Ah, thats true, that is more accurate.
So he was … testing tools for testing games, or some kind of internal process?
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 12 hours ago
I honestly don’t know, but since he ended up in cyber security, I’m guessing it wasn’t games testing, but probably internal tooling. Orgs like Blizzard have a lot of non-gaming related tech, like websites, databases, etc.
I haven’t seen any disclosure about what his role was, just that he started as QA and ended up doing cyber security, both of which likely didn’t involve any coding.

No, he is a narcissist bastard that likes to be always right. Going on his first impuls on what he thinks the answer should be and sticking with it.
He is too dumb, to self-involved and not competent enough to be a plant.
