@sampullara Part of today will be turning off the “microservices” bloatware. Less than 20% are actually needed for Twitter to work!

I still can't get over this, one of the most important "natural experiments" to come from COVID:

It's all right there in front of us, a free lunch pathway to reducing some of the most immense cruelty in our society.

Ah, a pivot to video. Brilliant.

Okay imagine all this, except you’re on Mars and there’s a limited amount of oxygen.

@mekkaokereke @kefimochi If this is how he runs all his companies...

I wonder about where SpaceX or Tesla could be today with someone else at the helm.

everyone is dunking on tennessee for this without realizing that they are only the fifth state to abolish slavery with no exceptions (CO, NE, UT, RI). it’s not an “ooh backward southern state” thing it’s that slavery is still legal for incarcerated people in most of the US.

Ya know how many rockets spacex blew up, and we were all "its never been done, its very very hard"

And like, thats true.

But also like...lookin around at something that is presumably not as hard as that and it just falling over itself.

Mb spacex could be better without elon?

WOah. Just had another Dr. Oz dream. This time he was crying

To be sure this in *not* an endorsement. Just observation.

This is dumb, but sadly this is kind of the norm for tech in non-tech companies. (They all say the want 50% coding too but it never actually happens)

Most places that have more than 1 dev team have managers with 20+ reports.

[Nathan Smith @Nogs]

I've een freelance, consultant, ic and manager all over the place in upper midwest. Exposed to a lot of industries and company sizes. Ive seen this at *most* places.

[Nathan Smith @Nogs]

@auchenberg Dont forgot random middle manager in non tech bigco: 20 reports + no budget. 😭

[wint @dril]

i will annihilate all spoofs of me . i will take anyone who does spoofs of me or my beloved content to the court of criminal law.

This overrides UX concerns

this is a cascade, since in an exodus large organizations will want to get ahead of impersonations
