Good to hear. Having no outages means there will never be outages, no new capacity issues, no new cascading failures, no bad pushes, nothing. We will freeze in time and my tweets will go into /dev/null. I wished I was smart enough to come up with this idea at work.

Post details

Twitter still seems to be operating fine with...checks notes... 70% fewer employees in a week. If the rumors hold true it will be down 88% since acquisition by Monday. My bet is the site stays up.

Honestly though, RIP Instagram too, which is just screenshots of tweets.

Twitter right now has the energy of when you say bye after hanging out with a friend but then you’re both walking in the same direction for another block.

tech twitter was an (mostly) amazing, (mostly) supportive, (mostly) fun place to be where i connected with awesome people, made some real friends, and had some laughs. my life would be much different if i hadn't made an account. see ya'll sometime soon hopefully, somewhere else.

We now have the playbook of how not to acquire a company, even when your goal is to cut costs. Nothing wrong with wanting to cut costs. A little empathy and planning would have gone a long way. And some - dare I say - leadership that motivates people positively?

My friend at @Twitter says it's all running on @elonmusk's laptop now and he got the last engineer pregnant and they had a baby and the baby looked him right in the eyes and said "$8"

We should probably have a serious discussion about the ease with which a billionaire haphazardly purchased & immediately destroyed a company that employed 7,500 people and facilitated essential communication for hundreds of millions.

The one positive outcome of what happened at Twitter is we see what happens when you treat employees with contempt and disrespect. Don’t communicate with them, fire half, change working conditions with no notice, fire those who criticise you, then give them an ultimatum.

Elon is the worlds wealthiest man, w the ability to pull in software engineers and ad constructs from his other companies. If he would have gotten away with this successfully: you bet other founders would have followed, treating their staff like this. Treat people with respect.

Really gotta hand it to the (possibly former) SREs and developers who built this place stable enough that it’s still running this far into Hurricane Elon.

Twitter’s Slack currently has hundreds of employees giving the 🫡 emoji, meaning they decided to not stay for Musk’s “Twitter 2.0” cultural reset. The company had just under 3,000 employees remaining before the deadline to say “yes” or not hit 20 min ago.
