Tell you what I'll do instead of a year end blog post. I'll share some raw notes here and maybe I'll land it in a blog post at some point (probably not).

Meet Nole, Twitter’s new CEO.

What if the new CEO is named Nole, and it’s just Elon with a mustache?

Hi 👋 I’m a Director of Engineering for Google, my org runs the infrastructure that powers Search, Gmail, YouTube, etc. I can absolutely guarantee you that we don’t do full rewrites of everything every few years.

Are you transphobic towards trans men too? Or is it just trans women you hate??

As a human, I can’t imagine a world where women are denied education! Do better Rishi! You don’t need to be a parent to hold this view. “As a father…” does not add kudos to your opinion. Being a parent doesn’t enhance empathy. #childfree #childless #nonparents #Parents

As a father to daughters, I cannot imagine a world in which they’re denied an education. The women of Afghanistan have so much to offer. Denying them access to university is a grave step backwards. The world is watching. We will judge the Taliban by their actions.

No Stack Developer A no stack developer criticizes the stack without understanding the stack. In addition to complaining, no stack developers engage in full rewrites, but don't finish them before quitting or getting fired, leaving an organization with no stack.

Kelsey Hightower (@kelseyhightower)Wed, 21 Dec 2022 17:10 GMT

Here’s the thing: Twitter’s stack *is* crazy. But as an industry we have not found another way to build planet scale systems supported by large orgs, constantly iterating and experimenting on a complex product.

Tesla has just been informed by the NHTSA that our cars pose an “imminent threat” to all drivers & are demanding an immediate recall of all vehicles w auto pilot. We are going to fight this to the end, but I’m being forced to announce the immediate recall of our entire fleet. 1/2

How things come full circle. Remember when Slack came out, it felt like a productivity increase and something that works better than email. I’ve now resorted to keeping Slack closed most of the time to not get distracted, preferring email as it doesn’t force me to respond ASAP.

Show up, set a two week expectation, tweet a lot for a month, don’t ship a thing. The new twitter seems a lot like the old.

The sad reality of all the 2.0-era bad takes on how simple it would be to “fix” or “rebuild” Twitter is that they are wholly under-appreciating the challenges and complexity of this system at scale. If it looks like a simple app as a user, that is because the UX does a good job. twitter.com/realGeorgeHotz…

After watching Ep.3 of Andor, I was like "This is probably the best SW series I watched so far". Now I'm at Ep.8, and I'm like "This is the best TV-Show I've watched in the last 5 years". Star Wars Andor is a masterpiece.

Kudos to the question asker who picked up on the fact that it was a smoke screen. I’m 10,000% here for people undoing someone by just reminding them to stick to one topic and fully answer a question. It’s amazing how often this is kryptonite.

Bencompetence (@Bencompetence)Wed, 21 Dec 2022 21:29 GMT

This is so profoundly embarrassing for Musk, and reveals he knows nothing about software development beyond buzzwords like “velocity.” he doesn’t even understand enough to answer a question about refactoring the entire codebase.

How it started: Ex-Twitter engineer asks Elon about new features to which Elon replied “to have high velocity features, there needs to be a total rewrite of the stack” Elon Musk claims to be an engineer, but he can’t even answer simple tech question & attacks REAL engineers

Most of us who work on heavily used systems at scale saw this one coming, and that they would propose a rewrite as they just have, and we also don’t think this is the answer. This is why hubris is a very counterproductive quality in engineering. Why do we all agree on this?

So you do admit that it was a foolish idea to buy Twitter and pay $44B for a company that isn’t worth even $10B and destroyed Tesla stock by dumping $40 Billion past year. You just admitted it publicly.

He did the same at Facebook on my team. Joined, realised it couldn’t be done with a few overnight Red Bull sessions, and instead required real engineering, then bolted. Real artists ship, real engineers follow through, even if it’s boring

Shane O'Sullivan (@chofter)Wed, 21 Dec 2022 09:09 GMT

I think the takeaway here is that no matter how smart you are, it’s not realistic to expect to effect meaningful change to complex systems in a short amount of time then leave. Same reason why consultants are not effective. No skin in the game/appreciation of how it came to be. twitter.com/realgeorgehotz…
