i feel bad because people are asking for my reply to things, but ever since getting laid off i've been extremely lethargic and sluggish, to a point i cant stay focused. if it wasnt for certain things in my life I definitely would be experiencing a full blown depressive episode.

What the last few days have felt like reading Twitter.

James Turnbull (@kartar)Tue, 15 Nov 2022 18:01 GMT

Three senior+ software engineers working at Twitter quote tweeted the below, pointing out how it doesn’t make sense. All three fired the same day, one done in public. Criticising your boss in public always has negative consequences, though this response was unusually strong.

I know everyone’s watching Twitter’s various features & systems fall apart. It’s clear that the wheels are falling off. But a quick reminder that you also need to keep an eye on what’s happening in the European regulatory space. In short, Twitter’s in BIG, BIG trouble. 1/

My twitter account was protected at the time, so I can only assume this was for not showing 100% loyalty in slack. I’ve heard the same thing has happened to many others now.

Criticizing in private also ended up in pretty much instant firing. So...

For those saying that criticizing should be done in private: I have reports for a number of employees similarly terminated the past 24 hours who were criticizing Musk's tweet on an internal Slack watercooler channel. Some criticized other eng leaders. ~10 people, as I hear.

because his boss is an asshole who publicly threw his employees under the bus by tweeting erroneous information about their work. I, as a leader, am not a coward who throws my ppl under the bus and then gets butt hurt when they defend their work by correcting me.

At better tech companies, meritocracy is a given, including pointing out incorrect arguments your boss made *with facts*. And yes, I’ve seen this happen in public enough settings (eg all hands). A leader wanting to have a culture of meritocracy would handle this different.

apparently they didnt turn off 2-factor authentication but they DID turn off the service that sends you the 2-factor authentication code. so if you log out and try to log in with an authentication code you simply wont receive one. lol. lmao twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

One thing that struck me while I was searching for friends to follow is that I hadn’t realised how many people I hadn’t heard from for ages, because The Bird Algorithm decided what it was going to …

Elon Musk tweeting like “did you know twitter hq only needs about 10% of the copper wire in its walls to function? Today I will be liquidating this costly bloat.”

https://twitter.com/CaseyNewton/status/1592322715540918274

One detail that could prove important: Twitter has no automated means to remove verification badges for people who don’t pay for Blue. So Elon either has to build that tech, or have folks do it manually. Except he just fired 80% of his contractors. platformer.news/p/elon-only-tr…

Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton)Tue, 15 Nov 2022 01:09 GMT

NEW: On Nov. 1, Twitter’s trust and safety team prepared a 7-page document warning Musk and his team about exactly how the rollout of the new “verified” badge would go wrong. They were ignored. And then their fears came true With @ZoeSchiffer platformer.news/p/elon-only-tr…

Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton)Tue, 15 Nov 2022 01:04 GMT

I was skeptical before, but after seeing his management skills in action I think letting Elon Musk oversee the migration of Earth's wealthiest people to Mars is a great idea.
