Borscht posted:This is exactly what I'm talking about. If anyone disagrees with a single part of the dogma, it's an instant dogpile. Its gross Imagine actually thinking that whether or not someone paid back all of their predatory loans they got forced into at 18, with large amounts of interest applied, is an actual reflection of their moral character. It's so folksy and simple. Do you toddle along past the baker every day and sing about wanting more than this provincial life? we let adults do this to kids and make an industry out of it but somehow, it's the kids' moral character that's at question here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiqKK4ysI7g&t=232s StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Nov 22, 2022 |

Steadiman posted:I don't even understand how he'd be able to review hundreds of emails with code every Friday, even if he was a good coder that would be a huge task. And how would he even be able to tell what's good and what isn't without the greater context of whatever the code slots in to. And if he could do that, then what? Is he gonna spend the weekend marking up corrections? How can anyone think this is smart management? My assumption is that it's less about management and more about his lifelong PR campaign to convince fanboys he's more involved in his products than he really is. It's not enough to be the private property holder and just make money off of other people's labor, he needs the public to believe he's in the trenches working hard and directly contributing to the service. So most likely he isn't even going to check those loving emails and is only doing it for the dual purpose of praise he could never get from his dad, as well as engendering paranoia in whoever remains at Twitter

"MaStOdOn iS sO cOnFuSiNg!" is something I'd expect internet babies to say, not people who have been shitposting since the early 2000s. It took me like a nonconsecutive 2 hours to figure it out, and I'm an idiot.

Come on people, we've got to get our lines-of-code-per-hour up up UP! We have to get this code boxed and palleted and out on the docks by 5PM and the ship's leaving with or without it! If our code ain't on store shelves in time for the Black Friday rush your kids don't get Thanksgiving! Now let's TYPE!

My PhD supervisor made me write him a daily email for the last 6 months of my time there. “Hi Eric, today I will be starting experiment A, and processing samples for experiment B.” It was a punishment for talking to someone in another lab about my work. I hated him and constantly daydreamed about his death. He’s still alive but finally got in trouble for scientific fraud. A lovely narcissist and a terrible scientist. I’m sure there will be people at Twitter right now thinking about dancing on Musk’s grave.

I ruined the algorithm for myself by goatse-ing Musk and a bunch of his brown-nosers, as well as some chud shitheads. The picture I get from my feed now is that these spoiled Twitter employees were all bloat and that daddy musk is going to use his genius to show the rest of the business world that you don't actually need to pay professionals a decent salary or benefits. To them, these professionals are nothing but babies that need to be forced to work more than four hours a week and brought to heel. It's disturbing because they really see the quality of life a professional enjoys as something to be completely destroyed for the sake of capital. I don't think it'll catch on immediately but as we're all aware, companies collude in many senses to keep prices high and costs low, and they're actively and openly on a project to proletarianize people with specialized skills.

Frank Frank posted:P sure recording in that place was Marilyn Mansion’s idea/shtick but yeah, Reznor was producing(?) back when Portrait of an American Family came out if memory serves. Trent was 100% into the sordid details of the property, at least initially, which isn't weird for an edge lord 20 something Industrial guy in 1992. After leasing the place, he christened it Le Pig, referencing the word written in Tate's blood on the front door (he also had multiple songs using pig imagery on The Downward Spiral, which he produced there). His mind was changed after being chewed out by Tate's sister in 1993; shortly after the confrontation he moved out, then later gave an interview where he showed contrition about previously being an ignorant dickhead. So, he's willing to listen to other people and change his mind. He's a good guy, or at least isn't a total piece of poo poo. THAT SAID, he still bought the front door, and had it installed at his New Orleans studio, so... you know. I don't doubt that he regretted being so tasteless and insensitive in the past, but I also don't doubt that he thought keeping a piece of the murder house was at least a little badass.

They're also low hanging fruit for his engineering-poor husk of a company because voice chat is already a feature of Twitter.

Hardcastlemccormik posted:https://twitter.com/alexeheath/status/1595071537031151618?cxt=HHwWhICgwZTH6qIsAAAA Lol. Good loving luck with that. Encrypting DMs in a way that actually works securely without severely compromising QoL is extremely difficult and fidly. How can an already overworked skeleton crew supposed to pull this off? edit: Consider that the private key has to be stored somewhere. And for a mass-market app with a web frontend like twitter, it will certainly not be on the user's device. Opaquely storing the keys on behalf of the users while maintaining the guarantees that are expected by "encrypted DMs" is possible, but there are many moving pieces to such systems, and a small mistake in any one of them would be a disaster. For example, you sort of have no choice but to encrypt the key with the user's password, which means that this password will now have to serve double-duty, which means that a bug that accidentally exposes user passwords will become a lot likelier. And that's just one of the things that can easily go wrong. Aramis fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Nov 22, 2022 |

Right, all of the existing super apps are generally based on chat. Twitter’s a DM app now. Great. Article says Musk wants to bring in the Signal guy to help. Aramis posted:Lol.

Yeah we do weekly summaries to our direct manager, but a) we’re completely remote so it’s a good way for our manager to know what we were up to since we’re largely trusted to be self-directed professionals who don’t need to be micromanaged, and b) it’s to our direct manager who then does a team summary for the leadership. It’s not 80 (much less 1,000) of us emailing the CEO.

TulliusCicero posted:Just to be clear: is Elon claiming he himself is a coder and therefore he is capable of providing a review? Yes, Elon said he was doing that in person code review on Friday so he could “learn the Twitter stack” He also said in the Tesla lawsuit over his insanely huge compensation package that he thinks he’s basically chief engineer, he gets in there and gets the work done.

I think he's using a modified version of the "once you get paid for writing you are a writer" rule to acquire the title. By that logic I and every other person who has ever written a PowerShell script at work are also Software Engineers, so if any devs in this thread want me to review their codebase I will... totally... know how to... do that. mysterious frankie fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Nov 22, 2022 |

https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/21/23472025/elon-musk-twitter-hiring-again-ending-layoffs "During an all-hands meeting with Twitter employees today, Musk said that the company is done with layoffs and actively recruiting for roles in engineering and sales and that employees are encouraged to make referrals, according to two people who attended and a partial recording obtained by The Verge. His comments were made the same day that an unspecified wave of cuts hit Twitter’s sales department, which has lost almost all of its senior leadership since Musk took over." yes removing all perks after axing 2/3 of your workforce and doing whatever it is he's been doing these past couple weeks definitely makes people to want to work for you. if your hook is, "work for elon musk" maybe rethink that hook.
