Those sorts of joke job titles can be interpretive.

I’d assume he was a very influential programmer on the backend and also worked on some of the API. Probably a prolific and respected code reviewer.

She. Yao's got a bunch of papers under her belt in distributed systems research and caching performance and is a _principal engineer_ at Twitter. She's been there for 12 years, her brain is worth so loving much to Twitter. Elon is the biggest loving idiot I've ever seen.

this has gotta be on purpose, like it's some weird tax scam or insurance scheme that only rich people have access to, right? where it turns out you can multiply your already-excessive wealth by counterintuitively producing even less value than there was before

i know he's stupid as gently caress but he has enough money to hire some very smart and cynical people. and i'm just too old to watch the bank burn and not look for the senator out back handing a novelty cheque to the owner

Still contemplating why I didn't register here under a clever pseudonym

INT. TWITTER EXECUTIVE BATHROOM - SUNRISE

Sunlight strikes the far wall through the frosted window glass. Another day and night have passed for our protagonists in this increasingly desperate situation.

The bathroom is a total wreck -- unspooled toilet paper strewn everywhere across the floor, stall doors swinging loosely on broken hinges. A shattered sink lays in the corner, its former pipe on the far wall guttering out spurts of water and adding to the ruin. The phrase "GCU OF COURSE I STILL LOVE YOU" is spray-painted across what was once luxurious redwood wall paneling.

ELON MUSK paces frantically in the middle of the room, his pupils dilated into a thousand-yard stare, shivering and scratching incessantly at his forearms.

I'm not up on my big programmer hierarchy titles. Code aesthetics = Refactoring lead? Internal style manager?

From what I can tell it's not an industry thing, it's a cute fun job title. Which means she's important enough and unique enough to give herself a cute fun job title because everybody in the company knows who she is and what she does.

From a quick Google it looks like she's the person who solves the difficult problems on how to make Twitter operate at scale as a massive coherent global distributed system with high responsivity.

Good for morale when the CEO himself is monitoring internal chat for Anti-Elon sentiment.

Probably also good that he relies on various right wing mutants like catturd or Ian Miles Chong for engineering advice.

Can't take 4% of 0. [Taps forehead]

Unironically, getting fired from Twitter for politely telling Elon to shut up is going to be a badge of honor. The people cheering on the firings don't get that these are people in high demand who have just had a huge cash windfall and Elon is telling the world that they're now looking for work. I'm sure they aren't happy to see their work burn to the ground because an arsonist moved in, but they're better off after firing than they were immediately before.
