  • Episode 018: Manu Cornet - Cartoonist & Occasional Engineer
    Jan 23 2026

    After spending way too much time acquiring a master's in physics and another in applied math, Manu worked at Google (15 years) and Twitter (1.5 years) as a software engineer, while spewing a constant flow of satire through his cartoons. Since the day Elon Musk fired him for being too much of a troublemaker, he decided to step away from tech and now spends most of his time drawing.

    You can find Manu’s work across software, art and music at: ma.nu.
