I really hope Musk gets fully disgraced before he finally kicks the bucket.

I would hate for the general public to remember him as "the transcendental genius who tragically passed away before he could save the world'.

He's definitely lost a ton of good will he had with the general public. The only people singing his praises are his stans, chuds for now since he is doing whatever Supreme Commander CatTurd wants, and boomers who think all millenials and zoomers are lazy while spending every day in retirement/ on a golf course.

Elon gets paid 10000x what his engineers get paid, that means he is 10000x as good at coding as they are. It’s basic math

Twitter basically has a huge neon sign over it now “your job is to make Elon Musk happy”

This is largely true about any job but instead of a pretense of some other job or product you can brag about, it’s just producing reports that make the boss like you, rather than any other task.

If Elon as an obvious non-coder is impressed by code that looks sufficiently complex, then the goal will be to write that. Performative “programmer” work as defined by a ten year old’s understanding of what building a website looks like. You’re better off just presenting a front than actually trying to do “hardcore” work and produce miracle products on timelines that make no sense.

I can guarantee you there’s nothing more that engineers hate more than this. Especially the good engineers. I’ve seen teams get gutted after a bad manager’s series of decrees that make the job about busy work, not production. Plus the random firings and hirings, loss of benefits.

There is nothing appealing about Twitter at this point. I wish I could see who was applying to work there.

Good feature. But under Musk I don’t think they can do it. And if they try to push to prod it’ll nuke the site.

Yeah it would be a great feature but incredibly difficult to actually do.

Back in 2002, I used to do IT for a medical journal in Paris which was run by a Miss Faversham figure. She was an old lady who ran the entire operation from her flat via faxes and angry answering machine messages, and she made the four office staff's lives a misery. She micromanaged everything, insisting on being informed of every decision.

So I automated the office without telling her what I was doing. I turned many 20-30 minute manual processes into tasks that just needed a few key presses, and at every stage it automatically bombarded the boss's fax machine with an overload of information.

It allowed the office staff to take 3-4 hour lunch breaks so long as there was one person to answer the phones, and I ended up giving the boss a mini stroke, which meant she had no dealings with the office for many months. It was the smoothest the journal ever ran.

I hope twitter do the same with Elmo, and just overload him with crap.

Encrypted DMs sounds like a great idea until it causes an increase in DM spam because they can't automatically profile messages by content.

Crypto is awash in liquidity crises right now so I bet the crypto bros hear this and go “oh thank goodness!” Twitter has a pre-existing brand and surely Elon, the world’s richest man, would never let a liquidity crisis hit his own company, right?

1. Twitter’s pre-existing brand is useless for banking and payment
2. Elon would never give a loving dime to save the Bank of Twitter.

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.

Why did you not just respond with "im working on meeting the requirements for my degree today"
