@Venmo has some problems with PEMDAS... If you are confused, 2+1x3 is 5, not 9... Just saying

[Luca Albertalli @AlbLuca]

Also, no, you are not taking over any Runway of the old base... I know it sounds badass but, seriously...

@ElectrifyExpo You need to check your map better for typos ;-) https://t.co/Xu0GI3s6rv

Also, the street on the left side is Monarch Street, not March St...

@GergelyOrosz 120M ARR for Google is noting. And profitability depends a lot on how it is calculated. How are all the costs allocated? Is it profitable on a fully loaded cost basis or only Gross Margin?

@hkarthik Option 4: find one of the few tech companies that didn't over hire in the last few year and if you do a good job experience job security. They exist, they are probably careful about hiring, but they are still hiring and from what I can see, your job is safe if you perform

[Luca Albertalli @AlbLuca]

@GergelyOrosz The biz environment is crazy and it has been for the last 3 years. We see disruption coming from the most unexpected sources. Layoffs have, IMHO, little to do with the specific performance and more with the fundamentals of the biz. Over hiring in the past is one of those.

@LearnConLaw can you make an episode about Twitter Blue checkmarks? https://t.co/xitxagQWrs
Given the Maelstrom that is Twitter, maybe you can change the name to "what Musk can teach us about Con Law"

@DavidRWilson @GergelyOrosz @syedfazlefarhan Twitter failed to follow the WARN Act when firing in the US. So "The US s doing a great job of convincing tech companies it's not worth the effort and risk of hiring people or even operating in the US..."?

@RealDavisAlan @HillckHill @Artemis888Infin @JaneVoter2018 @MuellerSheWrote @Momof4Cats4 @BretBaier @RpsAgainstTrump Clearly there are rules on managing documents that have been violated by multiple presidents. As far as we know, only Trump resisted returning the documents when asked, to the point of having his lawyers lying in official communications. This is the point of discussion.

@allenholub ...but even as an A/B test, one variant could trigger some metrics to alert (if you have good alerting, obviously) and you don't want the test stopped, or maybe yes. What I mean is that these are more complex decisions that an on call eng with no context could decide.

[Luca Albertalli @AlbLuca]

@allenholub Like everything engineering, it depends. If your change has no user experience impact, e.g: a security fix, agree with you. If it impacts the user experience, e.g: a new form field, you want more eyes there. And yes, that should be released as an A/B test...

@roshanpateI I'm split. A Bachelor in BS with finance major that has sense of humor is a real gem. But they also have no idea of what product-market-fit is, and the joke on the resume clearly shows it.

On a second thought, pass

[Luca Albertalli @AlbLuca]

@xcbsmith @swardley Not really if you read some of Brian's answer. He is completely off track...

[Luca Albertalli @AlbLuca]

@bcmerchant @stevenjwhite Uh, forgot, also the same VCs you are calling to save SVB being the cause of the collapse by causing a bank run...

[Luca Albertalli @AlbLuca]

@bcmerchant @stevenjwhite Source please. That's not what the financial reporting is saying. This is mainly a result of high interest rates that devalued their safe investments (mortgages) and a lot of their clients (tech companies) having a worst cash flow than expected

[Luca Albertalli @AlbLuca]

@DavidSacks Let me check my notes... Oh, yes, this is a bank run started by your colleagues (I don't know what Craft Ventures told his companies). Don't get me wrong, firemen put out fires caused by pyromaniacs, so you are right, but it still sounds a bit...

[Luca Albertalli @AlbLuca]

@rohan_chandran I still don't know what's going on, but the more I read the more SVB situation is the result of a bank run instigated by the same crowd. With Peter Thiel (why always him) at the forefront. I'm personally against complot theories... But they are not helping here...

[Luca Albertalli @AlbLuca]

@GergelyOrosz 9) Obviously this is a small set of strategies. A good PM should adapt to the context. But the most important part is open communication and cooperation with the team. Also, going back to the initial point, if a young dev does that error, it should have a good PM to catch it

[Luca Albertalli @AlbLuca]

@GergelyOrosz 8) ...but you have a portfolio of products so you could strategically delay something
- you build slack also in the biz calendar. It doesn't sound good, but it is better to be ahead and wait on marketing than behind. This is not for political reasons, but will be its own thread
