As I mentioned on Mastodon already, I don't quite like federation and Mastodon itself. I tried to explain my thoughts on my blog for the curious: https://t.co/mJHaYeYtq4

@mitsuhiko I find your analysis in this piece compelling. Thanks for sharing it. I think your conclusions are right.

I laughed so hard at this and then spent like five minutes trying to figure out how to retweet it much more loudly than anything else I've retweeted in the last 3 years.

People are starting to say Elon Musk isn't actually a real engineer. But he definitely said "I don't know why people think Twitter is so complicated. I could fix it in like a weekend." And then proceeded to fuck everything up. That's exactly like an engineer.

@IanColdwater @anildash yeah, and some of them are sloooooooow

[Matt Schrader @Matt_Schrader_]

very much the most twitter thing ever that the demise of twitter is one of the funniest things ever to happen on the platform

[Steve Krenzel @stevekrenzel]

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

@ShriramKMurthi A long time ago in the windows days, my first and only use of internet explorer was googling for firefox or chrome.

@hillelogram I don't have an answer myself but my wife used to use ImageJ to estimate distances in images (used in Ecology research): https://t.co/kTmvFta7sk

@sarcasticadmin yeah, I think when people who get really excited about processes the proper response is probably to run in the opposite direction.

Also, the evangelists have done a great job revealing how impossible it will be for their processes to ever live up to their promises.

After 3 years of talking about agile scrum processes, I am now pretty bearish on agile/scrum and the response I get when I voice these complaints is inevitably, "the meetings will continue until morale improves."

@GFWatchdog Sometimes I wonder if other countries where they dissuade folks with celiac from ever trying to eat oats don't have the right idea...

But also I love oatmeal and every time you send an email I just cross my fingers like, "please let there be no updates for *my* oats!"

@bcantrill This sounds like a Monty Python sketch

I think I'm starting to really like the Twitter categorization thing because it's hilarious. Here's what it is showing me today for the category "Seasonal cooking." Will I *ever* dare to click "See more"?
