Here’s the thing: Twitter’s stack *is* crazy. But as an industry we have not found another way to build planet scale systems supported by large orgs, constantly iterating and experimenting on a complex product.

Tesla has just been informed by the NHTSA that our cars pose an “imminent threat” to all drivers & are demanding an immediate recall of all vehicles w auto pilot. We are going to fight this to the end, but I’m being forced to announce the immediate recall of our entire fleet. 1/2

How things come full circle. Remember when Slack came out, it felt like a productivity increase and something that works better than email. I’ve now resorted to keeping Slack closed most of the time to not get distracted, preferring email as it doesn’t force me to respond ASAP.

Show up, set a two week expectation, tweet a lot for a month, don’t ship a thing. The new twitter seems a lot like the old.

The sad reality of all the 2.0-era bad takes on how simple it would be to “fix” or “rebuild” Twitter is that they are wholly under-appreciating the challenges and complexity of this system at scale. If it looks like a simple app as a user, that is because the UX does a good job. twitter.com/realGeorgeHotz…

After watching Ep.3 of Andor, I was like "This is probably the best SW series I watched so far". Now I'm at Ep.8, and I'm like "This is the best TV-Show I've watched in the last 5 years". Star Wars Andor is a masterpiece.

Kudos to the question asker who picked up on the fact that it was a smoke screen. I’m 10,000% here for people undoing someone by just reminding them to stick to one topic and fully answer a question. It’s amazing how often this is kryptonite.

Bencompetence (@Bencompetence)Wed, 21 Dec 2022 21:29 GMT

This is so profoundly embarrassing for Musk, and reveals he knows nothing about software development beyond buzzwords like “velocity.” he doesn’t even understand enough to answer a question about refactoring the entire codebase.

Most of us who work on heavily used systems at scale saw this one coming, and that they would propose a rewrite as they just have, and we also don’t think this is the answer. This is why hubris is a very counterproductive quality in engineering. Why do we all agree on this?

So you do admit that it was a foolish idea to buy Twitter and pay $44B for a company that isn’t worth even $10B and destroyed Tesla stock by dumping $40 Billion past year. You just admitted it publicly.

He did the same at Facebook on my team. Joined, realised it couldn’t be done with a few overnight Red Bull sessions, and instead required real engineering, then bolted. Real artists ship, real engineers follow through, even if it’s boring

Shane O'Sullivan (@chofter)Wed, 21 Dec 2022 09:09 GMT

I think the takeaway here is that no matter how smart you are, it’s not realistic to expect to effect meaningful change to complex systems in a short amount of time then leave. Same reason why consultants are not effective. No skin in the game/appreciation of how it came to be. twitter.com/realgeorgehotz…

Turns out when your new fancy search function needs to worry about things like scalability, design system consistency, abuse mitigation, multi-device support, and multi-language support, it's going to take a lot longer than two weeks to get a deployment out. Wild, huh?
