You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

You know I am not really your father.





You are the only DevOps engineer who has ever deployed the Blue Checkmark Pipeline, consequently you are also the only person from your team who knows the URL to the Jenkins server and knows which jobs need to be executed on the Jenkins server because people randomly just copied older jobs and left them on there because "it's not like half of us are going to get fired overnight so someone will always know which ones are the unused jobs"

Keep in mind there is a small % likelihood that someone who's still there realizes that there's another fired employee who handled the IT that setup the URL for the Jenkins servers and an intern you taught a couple times which jobs to run to get the Blue Checkmark Pipeline executed. The intern left for another team so they don't remember the URL but if they type in "jenkins" into their URL bar it will autocomplete. So there is an element of risk that you will get undercut.

How much money do you ask for to go back and fix this issue?

Do you think musk believes that firing everyone and then offering to perhaps hire people back means that he is the one holding the cards in this negotiation? I honestly wonder if he’s a big enough idiot to think that this is a power move that would force people back on his terms.

I imagine the knowledge loss that twitter just incurred is unimaginable to the point of being irreparable.

At least I hope

I worked on the DoD cards so fully understood

1) how complex their use cases are. It's used for more than document signing, that's for God drat sure.
2) all the stupid openssl tricks you could pull to make certificates do the dumbest poo poo/put them in the dumbest devices where you think they shouldn't go.

Of course he does, he's an egomaniac who thinks those people are both desperate for a job, and ecstatic at the possibility of getting a second chance to sleep on a conference room floor for him

Elmo isn't typical management. He's a starfucker who literally paid his way into becoming a star. Even negative attention is good attention to that type.

It's just absolutely loving amazing that nobody stopped to consider who was actually needed before just arbitrarily firing 50% of the workforce. Like it doesn't feel real that anyone would be that loving stupid.

he needs a billion dollars in savings so he can make his absolutely insane debt service payments. Revenue is of course static and will not go down at all if for example the people who sell adspace or do PR for the Japanese markets or maintain the actual website just disappear.

I made it to senior level administration of a HOI4 mod despite having like, ten actual PR submissions, because I did difficult high-quality work for specific projects.

As I recounted in the trumplol thread earlier, a couple weeks ago I spent four consecutive sleepless nights debugging an esoteric and transient production issue that was costing the company hundreds of thousands of dollars and that the contractor team had already spent fruitless weeks tracking down, and finally I was able to solve it by adding self._init_params() to a single file of code

In Muskworld I'd be out on my rear end for lack of productivity
