I think Big Melon might be actually mad that Trump hasn't immediately rushed back to Twitter after the great unbannening.

There was a screenshot when the checkmarks were rolling out that it wasn't renewed automatically which would be hilarious if true

nodejs/npm etc..

this is from a while back.. but i think there are things that need to be clarified in this post. twitter itself has never used nodejs heavily as part of their backend and while i'm sure it's used inside of twitter, i doubt it is used that much and unlikely to be anything that's mission critical to twitter. as an outsider looking in, as far as i can tell, after they split off from rails they've been heavily using scala, and more recently rust on their backend. also, calling nodejs a javascript framework is not really correct. this is a bit of pedantry on my part i'll admit, but no one i know would call it that.

npm, especially after the whole leftpad issue, is very stable and most of those issues people like to point to happened years ago back in 2016. holding opinions like it's the "groverhaus of software development" sounds dated.

related to this thread though. the way npm handles packages and having to update them: none of that stuff matters any more than updating the package managers for python or rust or scala will affect their day to day. most companies don't immediately update their packages specifically because of the hassle of updating to new versions when the current one already works well. and they have policies using package lock files to enforce that. you will always run into problems with package managers but that's just one of the complexities you run into as a developer. you're paid to deal with that because no one has yet to find a simpler solution. any complaints about npm can be levied on any other package manager. just read about any exploits against one of the python managers, pip, and rubygems.

which is to say, npm will not be the cause of issues, neither will any other package managers. unless there is a huge exploit that needs to be immediately addressed, not updating these to the latest version is not going to be the deathknell of twitter. you're going to run into more problems with the code that was written for twitter long before you have problems with the packages they're using from other developers. like if twitter actually survives say.. 2 more years then yes i'm sure people will be looking into this issue.

and any large companies that use npm also mitigate any issues but running their own package manager service so they're unaffected by the issues that leftpad caused.

His tweets? They're all archived in a million different places and freely/easily available to anybody who cares to spend 3 seconds on google, whether the twitter account is suspended or not.

E.g. https://www.thetrumparchive.com


Of course, yes, people can now retweet the funny ones which they couldn't before, but it was never a question of "Wow now all of that legal evidence is gone!" because as mentioned they're archived and everywhere, but also anybody trying to mount legal action could presumably get twitter to hand them over via subpoena and verify that they're real, also?

I’m my experience, tech customers are fickle as gently caress - especially the big boys like DT, AT&T and Comcast. They will absolutely drop your rear end like a bad habit the moment you don’t dot all of the I’s and cross all of the t’s in whatever arcane reporting system they have set up for vendors. Have fun managing that with a skeleton crew that has no working relationship with those organizations. You need these relationships to manage and maintain your mobile app and bandwidth.

If you fail the cursory stuff, then they will demand to send in external ISO/TL9000 auditors and gooooood loving luck if you hit that stage because those are some of the most unhappy, crusty people I’ve ever met and they LIVE to put vendors on closely monitored corrective action plans that result in meetings on top of meetings

Seconding this - I deal with enterprise SaaS clients and they are extremely demanding. They take SLA's extremely seriously, if for no other reason to gently caress you up when it comes to renewal time/negotiations. I have 3 hours of calls with one of them, their legal team, and ours next week for redlines to their contract that we are having to use because apparently the terms that the DoD and Costco agreed to aren't good enough for them.
