I think a slow bleed-out until it's nothing but Musk chuds and glitchy services nobody uses is a more satisfying death than for the site to just go offline one day.

Decon posted:Nothing underpins recruiter culture like the proud founder of a recruitment website talking poo poo about how many employees google has and all but explicitly advocating for the tech field to lay people off en masse. lovely recruiters have two goals, suppress the wages of the people they're recruiting and make the class of people they recruit feel like frauds so that the recruiter can insert themselves into the hiring process. In that context, this post makes sense. I think it's because companies will pay contract bonuses for getting a good hire who accepts a low-ball pay offer.

Here’s my official prediction. Some big twitter feature will go down. Something noticeable by normal users, like the blocking button not working. Some massive account like Stephen King will tweet at Elon, “hey why isn’t this basic feature not working?” Elon will respond “we are looking into it” Behind the scenes, Elon is getting heated. Nobody knows what to do. Even his most suck up lackies are telling him they need a week to figure out how the feature works. Elon doesn’t believe them (narcissistic managers think everything is easy) and gets madder and madder. Especially when that week turns into two or three. The public comments at Elon about this which he has to respond to because he can’t stop loving tweeting. He starts blaming the codebase, old engineers, retweets or agrees with someone going “wow I guess old Woke Twitter really made some poo poo code, liberals can’t even make a website” with a few cry laugh emojis All the while more features are starting to not work and the site starts really chugging. More engineers silently leave. Most users stop posting when it takes >1 minute to load a profile. Power users begin actually signing off not soon after. The end.

DaveWoo posted:I think this sums up what's most likely to happen with Twitter: That was my prediction when Elon had the sink, but now I think we're looking at a hard crash. An outage that brings the whole system down for days, possibly weeks. And even if they can get the site back up, they can't keep it stable. If a Twitter comes back from that techpocalypse, it'll be a very different beast than what it is now, possibly a low feature recreation from scratch only running on AWS. And they'll have trouble pulling users because everyone moved on, possibly to other Twitter clones that pop up in the next few months all struggling to reach the critical mass of users that will make them the real replacement. And for actual Twitter, no advertiser will touch it with a ten foot pole and there will be nothing left.

It’s a lot better than it used to be because they hired some of the leading experts in each field, especially infrastructure, around a decade ago. Honestly the fact that Twitter does everything themselves, on site, and hasn’t gone down much at all for the last few years is a testament to the quality of the code.

Boss: "Stop whatever you're doing, I need you to add this new feature at once!" Me: "Okay. Well, there's a lot of work to do. I can probably get a prototype working with the basic features in about two weeks and we can discuss it further then." Boss: "Great! Get started." Six hours later that same day - Boss: "WHY ISN'T THIS FINISHED YET?"

Remember the Fail Whale? When was the last time you saw that? Twitter is pretty robust now; the plates that were spun by experts still have a good amount of balance and inertia to them. But systems this complex are not at a stable equilibrium, and one of those plates will teeter and no one left will know what amount of force is necessary to keep it perched on its pole.

Nah, its going to be funny when they can't bring it back up and get really desperate. The only unfortunate thing is we won't see Elon Musk breaking down live when he realizes he actually made Twitter complete worthless in less than a month and before he could even put a fall guy in place.

wedgie deliverer posted:Do people not forgot how Twitter crashed every day for years on end? That poo poo is gonna break so fast. That was when the site was coded in Ruby On Rails, a language and framework that were notorious for being easy to prototype and launch a site, but difficult to maintain and scale to millions of users. From what I understand, there is not much of that code left.

So are tweets ultimately served up to end users via a non-Twitter CDN or something? Something that would survive, even if stale, when some critical cert expires or the ransomware attack happens?

Something that would survive, even if stale, when some critical cert expires or the ransomware attack happens? The API authentication presumably happens on Twitter controlled servers, so there is no telling how long a CDN could allow the site to stay up in a read only format.

kw0134 posted:Remember the Fail Whale? When was the last time you saw that? To be fair they retired the fail whale a long time ago so even if there's an issue now you won't see it. But yes also they did only retire it when they'd reached reliability levels that nobody would notice it was gone. They celebrated reaching that point by commissioning the success loch ness.  And now they're all gone and all that work is being undone by an immature manchild with apartheid emerald mine money. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Nov 18, 2022 |

Maybe they’ll make a static status.Twitter.com page for Elon to live update. The man can’t not tweet. Though without his reply guys it would definitely give off empty room vibes

Stuff like organizing civil rights protests or basically the entire Ukraine/Russia war up to this point. I'm not going to go to Tumblr for live reactions of Ukrainians taking over tanks and that kind of thing. I dunno, just been thinking about how non-English speaking Twitter has been handling all this lately.  Twitter is speedrunning the trainwreck category and it's making for some  content. Sure twitter can rise from it's ashes to run a post-finale season but it'll be a husk of it's former self just like livejournal, myspace, and tumblr.

Twitter's infrastructure is mostly bespoke, complicated, fast, and importantly, almost all on premises. https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastructure/2017/the-infrastructure-behind-twitter-scale if you read through the article, they are on the cutting edge and twitter uses a lot of engineered solutions to have their data be really fast. So much so that they have a kernel team, and their own solutions impressed Intel. https://twitter.com/danluu/status/1592774269733601281 Of course the entire team and also the entire teams that built all the solutions were fired. It's not going to be an easy fix and since this is not a 'regular website' that runs on AWS.
