We've been over this. Who/whatever runs the simulation for our timeline got bored and basically just started doing like you did in Sim City where you select a disaster to see what happens before you switch games or just do a new game and start from scratch.

4.1 Air Crash.
4.2 Fire.
4.3 Riot.
4.4 Monster.
4.5 Floods.
4.6 Chemical cloud.
4.7 Nuclear meltdown.

We've tried everything for lols except "monster" so far, unless the real monster... IS MAN.

This is absolute loving lunacy.

I work at a large company that operates on microservices. We have always made code quality a priority, and even then 12 weeks wouldn't be enough time to even understand all the interdependencies and details of 100 microservices, let alone 1000. And "cleaning them up"... loving christ, dude. Just get Dunning-Kruger tattooed on your forehead and save us all the effort.

there are companies where this would be super fun. when I was at Yelp, the reviews website, a decade ago, it was in this tier. It was a mess run by college dropouts & new grads calling themselves geniuses. It would have been a blast to walk in there, with the skills I have now, for a fixed engagement, with the power to rearchitect. I would literally do it for fun.

twitter is top 5 worst targets in the world for that kind of thing. Their top engineers are (were) titans in the field and the problems they face are miles beyond the kind of “babby’s first lucene” poo poo I saw at yelp.

Especially something that's built on using microservices to satisfy GraphQL data structure requests like twitter.

Or that they have multiple machines that can serve name change requests, and some, but not all, have updated to the new behavior. So if you spam enough eventually your request will get randomly assigned to one with the old behavior.

This seems most likely given the issues that require a code freeze

I bet everyone is throwing out any backwards compat guidance between services. Then monoliths are "how you prevent backwards compatibility breaks" because it's a silver bullet and solves alllll the problems.

I know I was surprised to find out that a real world RPG round travels at between 115 to 295 metres per second. That's 1062kph or about 85% the speed of sound.

I had a dream last night that I was at a huge launch event for a very big budget game made by a Musk company.
I knew the game was 100% going to be a total flop, because it was fundamentally badly designed and had been rushed through development so much that it barely functioned. I swear I am not making this up, but there was even a side-line of collectables which were just little rubber animals that were for sale for $4 each - the exact kind of thing you can get 100 of from alibaba for about $5.
They had zero relevance to the theme of the game, just a blatant attempt to screw a little money out of morons.



Anyway, as is the logic of dreams, the big glitzy event turned into a massive knife fight - I had to kill at least 5 people to get to safety.
When things calmed down and the fighting stopped, I got into conversation with Musk himself, and tried to convince him that he was having a prolonged, severe manic episode, and trying to keep ahead of the flailing mess that this launch was, was only making things worse.
I eventually convinced him to just to to Hawai'i and just chill on the beach, which is when I woke up.

Furries in tech is funny.

I met someone I already knew via vintage computer stuff at a furry con and he was like, yeah man, if you know people in tech flip a coin for each.
Related a story of the first time he was 'out' at a company and someone was like huh, that's neat. First one I've met. "Lol no you work in tech try again."

They are also some of the most pure hearted people I've known and I would rather work in an environment where a literal fursuit is mandatory than at one where furries aren't allowed at all.

Errrr. Is 'They' the correct word here for this hyper positive view of furries? :shobon:

I think it's going to be less crazy now. He's gutted it so far and fast that it's no longer possible to even try and implement the instant policy changes. His big idea for revenue (:8bux:) has been pushed back and he doesn't seem to have any others. Now he's busy with his court case and so not got as much time to smoke and roll about in his own poo poo.

Weird and baffling decisions will be made, just less often. I expect more of a slow-burn, depressing, smug fash-support feel.

Elon's pectoral implants would block or deflect blows equally well, though.
