Random Stranger posted:It's going to turn out that some of that stuff was load bearing in ways that only two people at the company might have understood, but they've been fired. It will take days for some cache to timeout that's at like ISP gateways or something strategically. That is when the problems will start coming up but since so much has been turned off between they'll never think it was the widget they'll be looking at MacGuffin.

Random Stranger posted:I had to double check if this was a fake account. Well, how popular was Twitter in those countries, anyway? Who needs those people who won't pay $8? you are somehow completely misreading that tweet he's complaining that the app takes too long to load in india (due to all the microservices ad bloat) that's why he's now suddenly ripping all that poo poo out with no warning and no foreward planning. it's an attempt to reduce bloat and improve loading times

Hardcastlemccormik posted:Yeah Twitter is almost certainly a very complex beast with a lot of legacy code that doesn’t do anything, at a glance. But of course if you fire over half of the staff and most of your contractors, the pool of people in the company who can say “oh man don’t turn that off, it’s important” is dwindling to zero. (Then again, Musk would fire anyone who would say that to him anyway.) It is super weird to see this middle-aged billionaire tech mogul approach optimizing a globe spanning communication platform in the exact same way 16-year-old me "optimized" Windows on the family Dell.

You need to explain to Melon Husk why changing the current assembly process to do that would be good even though it will not instantly give him 1 billion dollars.

You remember how I posted that actually-functional business plan for Tesla a few pages ago? (1) Would you drive an electric Miata?

Is it possible to read replies to a tweet sorted by latest or is that only possible on searches? Twitter was already poo poo before Musk bought it so I'm not expecting much.

Data Graham posted:But I was told their panic-drop in stock price had nothing to do with the tweet It created panic within Eli Lilly. quote:Inside the real Eli Lilly, the fake sparked a panic, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. Company officials scrambled to contact Twitter representatives and demanded they kill the viral spoof, worried it could undermine their brand’s reputation or push false claims about people’s medicine. Twitter, its staffing cut in half, didn’t react for hours. Tiny Timbs posted:Getting in a public twitter fight with your boss has always been a career-limiting move OTOH getting fired by Elon Musk rn because you publicly disagreed with his idiocy is probably a great career move. It's like being a lawyer and getting fired by Trump, and then Trump starts bad-mouthing you and saying you wouldn't do a bunch of crazy illegal poo poo he wanted his underling to do. And everyone else is like "oh I guess this guy must be a good lawyer".

I could buy that Twitter was overstaffed in terms of the ratio of soulless career bootlickers that please Musk to people who just want a healthy work/life balance, but I can't conceive of what Musk's goal is here, unless it really is to destroy Twitter from within, investment be damned. That frankly is the only explanation that makes any sense, but it doesn't square with other entities getting involved in the financing, unless they simply had no foresight that this was going to happen. Every decision he has made has alienated advertisers, and it's clear - or at least his tweets suggest - that these are the most important people to him. He's not even appealing to the right, as many feared, he's just indiscriminately flushing pieces of it down the toilet with every passing moment. We're through the looking glass on this one.

kw0134 posted:Musk's goal is to improve Twitter and make it super profitable. The problem is he's such a gigantic idiot and colossal narcissist that his ideas are terrible and he won't listen to contrary advice, or surrounds himself with yesmen who won't give him contrary advice. I absolutely believe he's trying his best. It just happens that "his best" is indistinguishable from an arson lighting things on fire. Or to put it more succinctly: Hanlon's Razor posted:Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
