7500 to run Twitter Vs 50 to run WhatsApp But yes, WhatsApps literally has 5 features, none public facing, no public moderation needs, no media production, etc. Twitter is effectively a media channel. That needs people. @elonmusk will gut and kill it.

No. Those who have had to fire people KNOW that so many layoffs = lose your best. The ones kept and stay are those who NEED that job bc they have no opportunity outside the org. We see headcount as people; you, DHH and Musk see them as cogs. daringfireball.net/linked/2022/10…

Also see how @dhh posts things and turns off replies? That's not thought leadership, that's top down "LISTEN TO MEEEE" behaviour twitter.com/dhh/status/158…

And quite frankly recently there's a lot of things that have made me question @dhh competency more than usual, with just constant bad takes. I mean Rework was essentially large print guff, not as clever as it thinks it is. PopSci thought leadership.

The bottom line is that if you fat shame people--even if it is just people you think are awful people--you are part of the problem and you are contributing to a worse society.

So, what if I can't hold a standard book? What if I'm blind and need braille? What if I can't sit very long because of pain? I'm not really reading your book? This is what ableism looks like. It's mocking people for using alternative methods to do things masquerading as a "joke"

wishlist: hotels that would rent for the day instead of overnight. I'm often in a city from 8am-8pm, and having a reservation that only guarantees me a quiet spot until 11am or after 3 or 4pm isn't great. do other folks have ideas that work here?

My 14 year old son is diabetic. He hasn't had covid and he's the only student in middle school that still wears a mask. He has been asked why he's wearing it still. His brother died of covid.. He has every right to still wear the mask. He shouldn't be questioned so much.

Hiring junior engineers is *amazing*, but please, please, please make sure you have support systems in place for them to learn in a safe environment. Giving them psychological safety and effective teachers will help them set a sturdy career foundation to then build upon.

I joke a lot that seeing the Peter Principle in action is an amazing cure for impostor syndrome, but if I’m being real, probably the most affirming (and effective) cure is when people you’ve worked with previously want to work with you again. Blows my mind every time it happens.

Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this. Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to "submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus" to monitor your movements.
