@EngineeringATX @LBacaj @Joee1131 They also need to retain the employees they didn’t lay off, and giving stock grants is a great way to make leaving less appealing. For that they need stock.

@Carnage4Life Why are you still here? Without exaggeration, the only reason I’ve opened this app in the past two weeks and given Elon my engagements is because I get “Dare tweeted” notifications.

[jordan @jwf]

@samahaniK @Pakhaliuk @0xgaut Certainly not too funny…

[jordan @jwf]

@Love2Code This comes to mind: https://t.co/xIpqCz2B3v

@Carnage4Life What’s super cool is that lots of people that don’t work at Twitter can speak confidently to why those are in there. Elon comes up in code and suddenly thousands of thought leaders know how to read Python. It’s a miracle, I tell ya.

[jordan @jwf]

@OrinKerr I’m curious how many other’s morality the average person thinks they have a thorough read on. For me it’s maybe a couple dozen… how does one extrapolate from that…

[jordan @jwf]

Every single notification in this app is someone angry at something. I’ve probably trained the ai to show me these through my interactions, but still, wtf do I still have this app.

[jordan @jwf]

@dangoodin001 I still open this app occasionally and log those sweet, sweet ad impressions because people I admire, such as yourself, still post interesting things here. Just sayin’.

[jordan @jwf]

@krassenstein Better than what? Taking some satisfaction that a person who had indirectly hurt millions of people is suffering a bit? Why do we think it’s civilized to distance the people in power from the consequences of their actions?

[jordan @jwf]

@Carnage4Life A cottage industry called tech journalism…

@tweetwithJete @MCLane216 @EmPittsDonahoe @BryanAshkettle @robbieriv Or maybe ChatGPT isn’t an enemy?

This is a part of it, but it also doesn’t have to be. It depends on how ambitious you are, and I think it’s reasonable that if you really want to move up then you have to hustle a bit. But I never played that game, and I’ve done just fine.

Now that I no longer work there, I will say that something I really disliked about Google (and this may just be a Big Tech thing and not unique to them) is how much of the job was self promoting and the theatrics of demonstrating impact.

[jordan @jwf]

@towheretobegin @kunchenguid @bengold So half the time the impact isn’t measurable and has no direct business result and tech is fundamentally broken because companies don’t just recognize this immeasurable impact without engineers having to make a case for why it’s important. Got it.

[jordan @jwf]

@skelterjohn @parrots But doesn’t it just seem like the most utterly facile dunk possible.

[jordan @jwf]

Elon Musk knows intimate health details of all his cousins. It’s just a fact. Everyone who knows someone who had a bad vaccine reaction knew exactly the state of their health prior to the vaccine. Obviously.

[jordan @jwf]

@RayRedacted Like anything, just say it as quickly as you can and you’ll sound like a seasoned expert.

[jordan @jwf]

@halvarflake Not in the slightest. They just don’t have a place in most pop music these days as it is a lot less power-ballad, melodic hook driven than when key changes were more in style. Much more use of layering to heighten the energy, due to more EDM influence in pop music.

[jordan @jwf]

@notwaldorf And I have the “spend five minutes wondering why the content is bad the remembering and clicking the Following tab after cursing Mr Musk”…every day. At least you get to be smarter than me and save that five minutes…
