crispix posted:so many software places do flexible working and let people chill and drink a bit in between working because it's a mentally exhausting job and those are reasonable measures to take to avoid people dropping out due to burnout There's so many stories about all-weekend crunches or sleeping on the office floor, usually related to startups or games companies, people forget that working for a well-established tech company is often a really great work environment. I was supposed to send out interview invites to some folk on Tuesday morning, but something came up on Monday evening meaning I had to take a couple of hours off the next day. So I sent them about 7pm on Monday instead. The next day my boss politely asked me not to do that again, as sending them out of hours might give candidates an impression that late hours were part of our culture.

IBroughttheFunk posted:People keep bringing up how the World Cup is starting soon, and how that's a big problem. What's the specific issue - does the site just regularly get overloaded during it with extra traffic, and now it's thoroughly hosed because they currently have a less than barebones staff keeping things going? A lot of people. Especially outside of USA.

crispix posted:you program like poo poo if you don't take regular breaks from it and clear your head my old job was in an insurance company in the middle of nowhere and the IT dept got re-orged by a group of dudes who fancied themselves to be a bunch of elons. 37 hour work weeks with quarterly on-call responsibilities suddenly became 60 hour work weeks with monthly on-call responsibilities and boy did I write some embarrassingly bad code during that time Eventually all those dudes hosed off or were fired but their only accomplishment was forcing half the staff to go find better jobs. I'm very amused that Elon is managing to do the same thing on a massive scale, I hope all the people who decided to peace out manage to get their severance pay without having to put up a fight lol

This is shaping up to be the worst world cup in a long drat time since maybe the second one they held in fascist italy so it could make it either worse or better for elon in terms of traffic

Somebody scores a goal and everyone in an entire nation posts 'jajajaja GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAL' and then clicks the video to see the replay. It's more than just high traffic, it's that the spikes are loving massive.

A bit dated by now I'm sure but the World Cup used to be the biggest real-world stress test of Twitter's performance: https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/a/2010/the-2010-world-cup-a-global-conversation.html https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/a/2013/new-tweets-per-second-record-and-how bizwank fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Nov 18, 2022 |

Honestly I just want it to crash already. People are migrating slowly to Mastodon, but the first true test of whether it'll be a replacement will be when Twitter doesn't load and people seek a place to vent about that.

Nessus posted:People are gonna post about futbol. & they're gonna post things adjacent to the futbol that some people will find embarrassing. Like the qatari stadium built on rivers of immigrant slave worker blood, or the fact that said stadium is filled with paid-for fake fans of the different teams holding up flags and cheering like if they were paid to do so. This futbol-adjacent discussion is going to produce millions of tweets with kinds of highly charged political commentary that could reasonably require a substantial moderation and probably language and locale-specialist staffing to handle gracefully.

Elon Musk is this writ large. My popcorn tastes so good.

Hardcastlemccormik posted:https://twitter.com/yoyoel/status/1593686891965992961 Oh yeah the book Superpumped mentions how Uber had figured out how to track iPhones even after their app had been deleted and then they geofenced Apple HQ to try to hide it, so Tim Cook called in their founder to yell at him and it almost got them kicked out of the Apple App Store which would have been a bit of a set back.
