Let's hope twitter dies in the next 24 hours then

Didn’t Trump say he won’t come back because he’s already running a competitor? (lol, he’ll be unable to resist)

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Even from working lovely retail jobs, I learned that someone coming in as an outside hire to a manager or even supervisor position is usually going to be a disaster. Usually, the problem was arrogance and entitlement that they want to mold things to their ideal while making zero effort to learn the company culture, procedures, or internal politics.

This is on a far grander scale but that seems to actually intensify the effect. Elon bought the whole company for 44 billion and made seemingly no effort to learn how or why anything works. Truly intelligent people ask a lot of questions, listen, and have the ability to filter that information. Giving your employees ultimatums, publicly poo poo posting, making GBS threads on your employees, and demanding that they justify their jobs based on arbitrary metrics is a great way to tank the company fast and I'm actually impressed at how fast he's been able to do that.

Yeah I’m actually surprised newly converted Republican Elon Musk hasn’t gotten marching orders from Republican senators to keep Trump locked up.

Doubly so if Twitter dies after Trump is reinstated because you know he’ll poo poo all over Elon till the end of time.

Why is he so hung up on reinstating Trump? Because his broke brain thinks it's funny? Because the chuds that lick his boots want him to? Because he wants no advertisers left at all on Twitter?

He's a moron.

It would be funny, though, if Tomp says no, gets back on Twitter and immediately starts making fun of Elon, or he gets back on and the site dies shortly afterward.

25% API failure rate from a company that size is a BFD for sure. I wrote a middleware solution in python on our Django server my first year as a dev (was for a contest sign up and literally the second time I ever touched python in a prod env) and while it worked it didn't have timing and batching to the database done as well as it could have. I had a 10% failure rate for contest submissions that I updated immediately based on failure notices from the sentry integration. To me, as a junior, green AF dev, 10% failure was unacceptable and I wanted to do better. Fixed the issue next day and verified the 10% in question were processed. I think our current threshold for these failures is either 0.75% or 0.5% and trust me we are way smaller and jankier than Twitter. Well, maybe the same amount of jank now that they lost everyone that knew how to do anything.

They are very clearly stating that when they were a green dev, they wrote something terrible that had a better failure rate. They felt that even this failure rate was terrible, so improved it.

The poster is saying that Elong Twatter has lower standards than they did as a ignorant noob.

It's a set of tasks that the server performs. When you press the Submit Reply button on a post here, it's sending the text you've typed to a "Make Post" 'end point' in an API which will do all of the necessary logic to attach it to a forum thread. Similarly when you load a thread, it'll be calling a "Get posts" end point in an API.

Failures in those APIs could be any number of things, connection issues, logic errors, but it means that they're not working as intended when they're being told to do something.
