Steadiman posted:https://twitter.com/FLVoiceNews/status/1597619967062863874 Fascinating. So removing the app for violating Store TOS is a monopoly act because Twitter isn't available as a website on literally any device, I guess. And Apple is literally the only company making mobile devices. I mean, I don't particularly care for Apple's walled garden in a lot of respects, but it does serve to make the platform more trouble-free.

Kafouille posted:Elon is all about engineering, or rather what he thinks and dreams engineering is. He loves the nuts and bolts and clever little technical details, all the fancy little tricks real engineers sometimes do, and thinks it's ALL about those things. He seems to think that the entire job is to come up with novel and inventive solutions, and assumes everything beyond that is easy and will just fall into place on it's own, not something that is worth his time.

whydirt posted:What’s stopping the workers left at Twitter from just copy/pasting old code for these reviews? gently caress all. Neither Elon nor anyone else is actually looking at the code presented. Elon fires the ones he decides there and then that he just doesn't like. The coding thing is just a lovely fratboy hazing ritual.

The biggest example of "just throw code at it" is Star Citizen, the Centralia coal mine fire that's been ongoing for the last decade, which hasn't produced a game so much as a vortex of unfulfilled promises of a Cryengine mod masquerading as an MMO while sucking funding for such magical things as...a single proc gen'ed river where you can stare at it. You know, in a space shooting game with space ships. Over a decade of an endless parade of underskilled devs being thrown at a problem that has no solution, creating "features" that no one asks for being crammed into a framework that can't really support it, and will get dropped immediately once the person responsible finds a better job.

CommieGIR posted:Because you write code to solve a problem, not just writing code for the sake of writing code. This is also part of why Musk's measure of performance, firing those with the least amount of committed lines of code, is also dumb: You don't write long lines of code if short amounts will solve the problem better. Also, it's probably not a best use of the managers' time to be trying to churn out code themselves instead of checking the work of the their subordinates or planning their team's utilization.

zedprime posted:The character limit is a pesky technical limitation with impacts on in-motion and at-rest infrastructure and UIX. Like it could be bigger but it was chosen not to be and if you wanted to change it again good luck. Yeah, the current architecture of Twitter is currently defined around it so it would be hard to change it, and it WAS originally a pure technical artifact due to the SMS based nature of it at first, but it's survived this long trough an absolutely massive amount of internal change because it's a deliberate choice meant to shape the use of the site, not because it's an intractable technical problem.

Why doesn't the musk just make people in teslas code for twitter when they're in autopilot mode? He can pay them in increased battery range since he was trying to make the last 20% a subscription. Or he can pay in a theoretical smaller percent chance of the vehicle immolating the occupants.

Hard to argue that DeSantis isn't the defacto leader of the party when he, as a governor, is making declarative statements about what Congress should do in retaliation for Apple dropping the Twitter app from their store.

The Last Call posted:https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1597629846611726336 He's kinda right, but for stupid/wrong reasons: Amazon, Google and Apple do control too much of the modern internet's infrastructure, and that puts them in a special position to make arbitrary decisions that affect everyone (e.g: Google Chrome moving to a new technology - can't remember the name - that basically kills adblockers). But when you're the CEO of a website like Twitter, pissing off these big companies because you're too much of a spoiled manchild to pay your bills is....not smart. e: Quoting the right post would probably help this post make a lot more sense.

QuarkJets posted:Experts agree almost universally agree that you don't want to write more code, you want to write less. Smaller codebases are faster to to develop, easier to document, and easier for someone later to parse and debug if something goes wrong. There are limits to that, but generally it's a lot easier to poo poo out large quantities of ineffective code than it is to write a small amount of good code. A massive codebase that does very little is often the signature of novice development. You also want managers managing. Project and people management is a full time job. These dictations from on high are the most bewildering things as it's pretty clear he's on the burnout express. I've had bosses who work too much, they were not as good a boss as those who focused on managing. I've seen bosses expect people to work late repeatedly to diminishing returns and eventually losing those employees. Granted, neither cases involved a cult of personality, which maybe Elon has going for him. It remains scary how giddily some people are to make an rear end in a top hat a christ figure.

Maybe letting an absolute nutcase have complete control of a major social media app wasnt such a great plan after all. If it wasnt America some sort of regulation agency probably would have made note of this an intervened to keep it from going this way.
