(I have chronic pain) I'll be talking to someone and they'll say something like "Big deal, my back hurts all the time and sometimes I can't get out of bed because of it" and I'll have to be like oh honey, that's not the norm for human bodies. You have chronic pain, too.

apparently they didnt turn off 2-factor authentication but they DID turn off the service that sends you the 2-factor authentication code. so if you log out and try to log in with an authentication code you simply wont receive one. lol. lmao twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

One thing that struck me while I was searching for friends to follow is that I hadn’t realised how many people I hadn’t heard from for ages, because The Bird Algorithm decided what it was going to …

Elon Musk tweeting like “did you know twitter hq only needs about 10% of the copper wire in its walls to function? Today I will be liquidating this costly bloat.”

One detail that could prove important: Twitter has no automated means to remove verification badges for people who don’t pay for Blue. So Elon either has to build that tech, or have folks do it manually. Except he just fired 80% of his contractors. platformer.news/p/elon-only-tr…

NEW: On Nov. 1, Twitter’s trust and safety team prepared a 7-page document warning Musk and his team about exactly how the rollout of the new “verified” badge would go wrong. They were ignored. And then their fears came true With @ZoeSchiffer platformer.news/p/elon-only-tr…

I was skeptical before, but after seeing his management skills in action I think letting Elon Musk oversee the migration of Earth's wealthiest people to Mars is a great idea.

Ya know, if I wasn’t so bad at systems design interviews (it’s always these that ruin me), I might have gotten an offer from Twitter at the start of the year, and right now would have been a VERY different experience. Sometimes you have to be thankful for what you failed at.

A bold move, to fire key developers who understand Twitter’s codebase and speak truth to your power. Elon is the most incompetent and toxic manager of any software-intensive system than I have ever seen (and in my many years of experience I have seen quite a few).

Welp sextpanther is dead in the water. Due to the service provider they use for SMS messaging deciding sexual messages are no longer allowed. They are switching to website only. No more SMS which was a huge client converter. The war on sex work continues.

In the backchannels I have with software engineers, the act of firing a respected engineer after he publicly responded to Elon criticising Twitter’s engineering team - and explaining choices - broke the straw with many. It’s a chilling message. Contradict Elon and you’re fired.

My question on “who would work at Twitter, given options” now includes that of working there you should expect to receive criticism in public, and firing on the spot for responding in public. The pool of experience sw engineers who would choose Twitter just shrank some more.

Post details

Serious question: outside of outsized, unvested stock on the line or high compensation, why would any software engineer with options consider working at Twitter, going forward? Policies changing overnight and an owner acting visibly hostile towards staff who built Twitter.

Three senior software engineers fired in one day for criticising Elon’s statement on how Twitter’s backend works. The other two firings were now communicated on Twitter but also happened yesterday. I haven’t heard of an engineer being fired promptly over a tweet, much less 3.

12 years ago, Twitter’s office used a Mac Mini to tunnel into the servers. One day, an IT guy found it in the closet. “Anyone know who owns this?” “Unplug it. Someone will show up.” Everyone lost access to servers. Huge crisis. It became known as the “Load Bearing Mac Mini.”
