anyway my favorite part of all this is watching musk try to follow the age-old internet advice of Post Thru It, but he is terminally incapable of Posting so it's just a bunch of weirdly unfunny stale memes. he wants so badly to be a poster but even in times of crisis, he is not

In the case of Twitter, y'all are negotiating with the richest man on the planet who just yesterday was claiming you were dead weight, and has spent the past week abusing you and your coworkers. _Think big_.

Advice for any tech worker who's been laid off: if your former employer comes running back to you asking for you to save their bacon, you can and should quote your "fuck off" consulting rates. Also, if it won't buy a house those rates are almost certainly not high enough.

It feels like some CEOs want to ignore what we've learned about burnout culture. Folks are free to grind if that's their choice (often isn't, but should be). You can otherwise still get your best work done within business hours - healthy orgs don't leave you drained.

“So if they built it, why didn’t they ship it?” Old Twitter did things more careful & slow - both to get early feedback, and to not release half-baked features. This will clearly change. For the better in speed of release, and perhaps for worse for of quality, bugs, confusion.

Doing it “right” would have meant shipping mobile changes to prod while building backend, then doing small cohort tests, then getting feedback + fixing outstanding issues, roll to a bigger group. It would have covered most edge cases from day one. BUT it would have taken long.
