Downloading my data just in case. It’s sad to think we might lose this platform - I’ve made so many friends and I’m grateful for the platform I’ve had. Not sure if I’ll get on the mastodon train, but you can always find me at localghost.dev - subscribe to my RSS feed!

“Oh weird. I tried to unblock you but it seems they must have shut down the microservice that handles unblocking.”

If there’s someone you wanted to block on Twitter but couldn’t bring yourself to, consider doing it now. If they bring it up you can blame it on Twitter being broken.

Don't log out of Twitter if you have 2FA. The microservice for it has been shut down. You won't be able to log back in.

the guy who called elon out for talking nonsense about microservices got fired and then lectured about not trying to "one up" his boss, the world's richest man, who is just trying to "help and learn". grim

It was a useful way to provide visibility via attribution for third party clients, like Tweetie (which was acquired and became the Twitter iOS app) or Tweetdeck (RIP). It was also a useful status indicator (e.g. whether the tweet was sent via desktop or mobile).

I could have told him that. But then I was around back when it was a very open platform with third party clients, APIs, tweetups, and a whole lot more. It does feel like there's some history being ignored and lost here.

If you're a sw engineer: today could hardly get more interesting. Shutting down microservices in bulk is next up today. Now we know why the Git freeze was instituted a few hours earlier. As said before, this is the kind of stuff that we've not seen in public, at this scale.

This is especially true as more features and systems which build on old systems in unexpected ways are added. That’s just part of the job.

Twіtter API (real, not parody) (@fake_api)Mon, 14 Nov 2022 18:30 GMT

“This code is a mess and it’s a wonder any of it even works” is the view of most people working on any software that’s more than a couple of months or years old, at the latest. This isn’t some huge indicator of a bad team or bad engineering.
