It would be really amazing if Elon shipping views as a stat on every tweet resulted in advertisers realizing that they were getting scammed because impressions weren’t an accurate metric.

Love it or hate it… congrats to the team on shipping View Counts! 🥳 We built this super quickly. I did the iOS work in just 2 days. 😬

I have received a lot of messages from second home owners who complain about the Council Tax premium. Sorry to break it to you, but a second home is a luxury, and you pay a premium for luxuries. Many of the people I represent can't even get a first home! /1

It’s wild that you can just do anything. Date the wrong person, choose the wrong career. You can go outside and start eating dirt if you want, and the universe lets you. Not even a pop up like “Are you sure?”

+1 on this thread. Also the major distinction here that seems to be getting lost is “massive ground up rewrite of everything” and “after a few weeks, without working with the team who built it” I am definitely not saying no refactors or rewrites, that should be clear, I hope.

Just to clear this up (and not spend more time on it today), frequent rewrites are not the same thing as a ground up rewrite of the whole system, which was the topic. That’s an important distinction, IMO.

Fair play to them. Every time I book a train ticket, I think "what a bargain, they should be charging more for this".

The slow destruction of Twitter means I don’t have to limit myself to 280 characters anymore. So this is a LONG-ASS post about having been online for decades & lost so many spaces to malfeasance and malice & what to do now. Because I need to scream. catvalente.substack.com/p/stop-talking…

A third brand asked to feature my tweet. First one compensated, second one did not, so I said no. Third one not offering compensation either. I don’t get it. Don’t give away your shit for free!
