I can see why major advertising brands would want to be associated with a CEO making masturbation jokes while urging people to vote Republican.

Accidentally I ran an interesting experiment comparing Twitter and Mastodon this morning when I tweeted/tooted about a blog post Mastodon: 3,000 followers (all from the last few days), 25 replies, 91 reblogs, 184 faves Twitter: 43,000 followers, 7 replies, 31 retweets, 183 likes

Yo @elonmusk while I have your attention, why should people pay $8 just for their app to get bricked when they say something you don’t like? This is what my app has looked like ever since my tweet upset you yesterday. What’s good? Doesn’t seem very free speechy to me 🤔

Elon Musk's offer to buy Twitter was so outlandishly high that a.) Twitter's old board couldn't say no, b.) Musk himself couldn't afford it, and c.) it damned the entire company to significant debt and massive layoffs. Every part of this deal has been and continues to be stupid.

My thoughts and experiences in the world of software and technology

I think it would be very funny if Twitter used Stripe for payment processing, instead of Jack’s company.

As requested by the owner of this website, I have added ‘parody’ to my name so that no one ever gets confused and so he doesn’t cancel Me. It is so nice that comedy is legal again. I, for one, welcome our new insect overlord.

When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people …

This perpetuates a fundamentally bad idea: that you need to sacrifice health and friends etc to succeed in sv tech. Of course that’s not true and it sets young people on the wrong path.

Nat, no. 1) this feature is no “great new thing. Let’s not pretend it is 2) there’s a huge difference between working hard because you’re personally motivated by the mission vs a culture of fear 3) you know how many people do their best work when they’re burnt out? None.

In my experience most valuable engineers with in-out knowledge of complex domains & large codebases are too valuable to write code. Instead they act as leverage doing design, code reviews & PoCs. If they grew in the same company, their past LoC will be v high but not recent LoC.

At lots of Big Tech, during promotions, a frequent reason to deny promotions to senior and the next level (eg staff) is not frequent enough coding. They might not tell you this upfront btw. There’s the expectation that up to staff+ levels, you lead by example w coding output.

Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz)Sun, 06 Nov 2022 09:40 GMT

Literally stupid. If I write a function, and EVERYONE uses that function over & over & over because it’s so incredibly useful, do I get LOC credit for every where it’s used? I swear, I’m gonna die whilst yelling “Goodhart’s law! They didn’t listen to Goodhart’s law!”

Here is a big co secret (esp engineers whose main job is to code) — People will look at lines of code written to decide if you’re in or out. You can cry all about how it’s gameable, it’s not efficient etc. But that’s a metric all big cos use to assess poor performers.

It’s actually not a metric the big companies use at all. Nor does it indicate poor performance. People working on the hardest problems write less code, because the work isn’t in the coding, it’s in solving the problem. This shows you don’t understand software development.
