I hope Elon buys Facebook next

Before everyone starts dunking on this guy, it's worth pointing out that there's a whole 'change management' industry based on this false premise.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

What do people mean when they say Twitter is gonna shut down? Doesn’t it kinda run itself? I feel like engineers are for changes not to just keep it running? I also don’t know anything. Hey @elonmusk wanna do a Twitter space with me? Im confused.

[Sam Bashton @bashtoni]

Do you think Tesla employees encouraged Elon to buy Twitter so they could get on with work without his constant stream of 'suggestions'?

[Sam Bashton @bashtoni]

The Twitter acquisition will go down in the history books.

[Zoë Schiffer @ZoeSchiffer]

Wow. Elon Musk just told Twitter employees he’s not sure how much run rate the company has and “bankruptcy isn’t out of the question.”

@QuinnyPig If I was to be very charitable to AWS, I would point out that the usage characteristics for an EBS volume attached to EC2 vs RDS are probably not the same.
Because RDS supports storage auto scaling, and because it's all database workloads, I'd expect higher IO per GB allocated.

@CTOAdvisor @TheRegister They've always been server huggers.

It’s pretty simple: Google Meet (original) was previously Meet, which was the rebranded Hangouts Meet. Meet has been merged with Google Duo, which replaced Google Hangouts. Google Duo has been renamed Meet, and Meet has been temporarily named Google Meet (original), for clarity

[Paul Graham @paulg]

People quitting Twitter because they're mad Elon bought it are themselves doing what he'd do only in their most paranoid nightmares: purging Twitter of people who disagree with him.

@latikambourke @RishiSunak @HackneyAbbott @MehreenFaruqi You have to love the irony that the "gerrem out!" racist Brexit supporters set off a sequence of events that led to an ethnic minority Prime Minister.

[Sam Bashton @bashtoni]

I've been using Twitter for a long time apparently.

[Sam Bashton @bashtoni]

@steven_bryen Enterprise summit? Still use the free umbrella they gave out.

[Lyn Alden @LynAldenContact]

Follow people that make you think.

My whole young life was about learning things, and then following things that differed from what I thought, and then changing accordingly as I learned more.

Whether it is me or others (feel free to disagree), follow people that make you think.

@shashj Coincidence that cables off the coast of France were cut around the same time too?

My interview with Liz Truss

[Sam Bashton @bashtoni]

Looking forward to my reincarnation as a Guide Dog.

You can tell who a person will become by looking at their calendar.

@kelseyhightower You mean like Bigtable? Absolutely, if I was building on Google Cloud.
If I was building on AWS DynamoDB would be my default.
