Mastodon is probably having a great time of things, but I'm skeptical that decentralization for this kind of platform (/protocol) will ever really work as a competitor for most people. To the extent that things are siloed it's less enticing for people to use as a broadcasting platform, to the extent that things are not siloed you get the same moderation problems. PS Chipzel's music is extremely cool and good.

Good SRE's are probably quite hard to replace, too. At Google they're paid even more than SWE's.

Meta laid off 11,000 (13% of company).

"Test it in prod" indeed.

Usually there's at least three environments that the server code exists in: dev, staging, and prod. Dev is getting updated near-constantly as developers push changes, staging periodically batches a bunch of recent changes for manual and/or automated tests, and if the tests pass then those changes go to prod (production), where actual customers see them. Sometimes there's also a 'test' environment in between dev and staging. Anyway if customers are seeing the dev environment, or code that was intended to only be seen in the dev environment somehow, that's a very bad sign. Not super surprising though, if Musk is getting people to quickly push out random new changes.

Network effects are a hell of a drug. I do wish there was something like early Facebook that was focused on just communication with friends and family, instead of virality. No brands or influencers, no resharing other people's posts, links to news articles and the like would be deemphasized in your news feed in favor of emphasizing your own words.

Main Paineframe posted:Hive said they were adding a system to address that, but I'm not sure if they've implemented it because we've already moved on to the next technical disaster: they put user authentication on the client side rather than the server side Even the most smooth brained basic rear end engineer in the world should've known this is a terrible goddamn idea, Jesus Christ.

I feel like if Google was like "hey we made a twitter, it's basically the same as pre-Musk twitter except more competent on the technical side" all the corporations and journalists would jump ship immediately. I know there's a bunch of random other upstarts but it seems hard to overcome the network effects of existing Twitter, would be easier for a current tech giant to do it.
