The real reason why some startups flounder is because CEOs/founders have no managerial experience or strong leadership skills, and simply don’t know how to build a high-functioning team.
Instead, bizarrely, we see *employees* being perceived as the major problem at such places.
The most ill-conceived idea that seems to have ossified among certain group of people is that Twitter was failing because the engineering culture wasn’t high-performing enough
The problem with Twitter was product and leadership, and not engineering not executing well enough.
@MonocularVision Seriously, though: what is available from .gov but also privately? That’s kind of an interesting market (I think I’m just not being creative enough to think of anything)
@norootcause @this_hits_home I definitely recall incidents with managers or someone “from sales with big client riding on this” getting themselves involved and making it worse with their every utterance
I’m amazed how angry so many people are getting because I divided one number by another number without adding any commentary.
You’re the ones deciding if that’s a big number or a small one, my friends.
@dmofengineering My money is definitely on a certificate that isn’t setup to auto rotate taking the service down. If it’s something central, it easily could be terminal.
More seriously, I think it’s truly sad that there are people who think so little of themselves, deep down, that they will intentionally sacrifice their time and relationships and energy…just to make somebody else rich.
It’s a goddamn greek tragedy
@atpfm Bryan Cantrill (@bcantrill) just gave a great talk on not abusing young folks in tech that hits on what you all talked about regarding Elon’s abuse of Twitter employees https://t.co/llzhv7ufxg
Update: a legal employee wrote on Twitter's internal Slack how they do not personally believe that Twitter employees have an obligation to return to the office *on no notice*.
It's a fundamental change to employment contracts.
@jamesreggio I started reading and wondered why you had voted “no”…but then hat implementation made it clear, that’s just a poor reflection of what RCV should be
