At best it would be left to the CTO to understand this but Elon's short a couple C-Suite right now.

But yes at the very least a CTO would be given some kind of overview like this. Someone with some curiosity... say someone who had just purchased the company for a lot of money, would probably probe further in. But it should't take a huge team like that to show him this. A Product Manager could just give him this overview over lunch.
Asking product managers to run through a architecture flow chart of your single and only tech product is a very good presentation to take in before you make statements like "the headcount here has room for improvement" or "I'm going to buy you for 4x your valuation and fix this".

Laying off everyone of note and asking the remaining engineers "wait, what's our architecture actually?" is like Hitler in his bunker as the Red Army takes Berlin asking "is it bad outside?" while Götterdämmerung plays in the background.

The other point I'm making here is that there are some jobs that just don't let you work the hours that you'd like to work and they're essential jobs. Collecting garbage sucks rear end but imagine if we lost all the loving garbage collectors. The right way to go about this is to honestly lower the wages for poo poo like Twitter engineers and increase the wages and lower the work time for garbage collectors so they need to do it every loving day.

Spoken as someone that has no idea what a life of poverty in America is like. It's systemic oppression and you're literally using Kanye's "black people chose to be slaves" argument.

The Jan 6 rioters were overwhelmingly wealthy middle class fucks.


Like yeah, it would be great if general strikes and class unity were to materialize out of thin air but you're completely ignoring all the systems and power structures built over literal centuries to quell that very thing.

I'm talking about countries that abolished monarchies that existed for 4 times longer than America has. I'm talking about the fact that most Americans do choose to be treated like slaves, and the majority of them are not African Americans. This response is ignorant of the entire history of the rest of the loving planet lol.

South African to Canadian, through his mother, and then US by himself. He's not South African in any real sense. The only really weird part about it was when he left, as there has been a steady stream of South Africans leaving since the end of Apartheid.

You're right, I was a little hyperbolic and made the issue seem more zero-sum than it is. But the issue I see is one of "people with the hardest jobs get the fewest benefits, so give them more and if that means that those of us who can have to live with less, that's ok. But also gently caress billionaires

Just a random note but I used to work in an office programming garbage runs and honestly it's a decent job in the UK - public sector which means 20 days paid leave minimum going up to 25 for 5 year seniority (plus 8 bank holidays ), hours are 7-3 on a 4 on/3 off rota, all your safety gear and training included free, and if anybody asks you to lift anything too heavy without the right gear you have a shouty union man dying to get into it with management. I'd take it over working at a supermarket any day.

Tech work in Europe is something else. I'm a computer toucher from the United States and even when I take vacation I'm still basically available in an emergency. My European counterparts go on vacation and their Auto responder basically says you will not hear from me for the next 20 days no matter what happens, sorry.

Also come August the entire European side of our company basically shuts down and that's just how it is regardless of what projects or catastrophic issues we are dealing with.

You've used your three tweets, but you still want to get in one more sick burn. Unfortunately, you still only have 420 likes, 580 short of the 1000 that would get you three more tweets. But, Twitter's app store is selling a bundle of 10 tweets for $2.99, and . . .

Legit thought that might be a selling point for blutik. Free accounts get very limited tweeting and reactions, :eightbux: gives you lots (but not unlimited), :eightbux:*corporate gets you properly unlimited so you can respond to every one of your angry customers.
