Twitter laid me off today. If you know of any open positions for project managers and senior software engineers, let me know. I was the PM in charge of that feature that shows you a good tweet before the whole timeline refreshes so you can't find it

I expect Twitter to remain mostly the same under Elon except it’ll somehow get massive federal subsidies and occasionally burst into flames

The amount of brainwashing needed to think the richest guy on earth owning Twitter, the second richest guy owning the Washington post, and the fifth richest guy owning Facebook and Instagram could possibly be a good thing is immense.

In typical fashion, half the breaking news about what is happening at Twitter, as posted on Twitter, turns out to be false. These are not data engineers: they’re pranksters, pretending to have been fired. It works: I see this tweet quoted as source across my feed.

Turns out “Rahul Ligma” was not actually fired from Twitter, but instead was just some random dude with a box that got CNBC with a Ligma Nuts joke

For every 20 people on tech Twitter sharing only a “find me at [social network] too” I see one sharing their blog url or RSS feed, or vowing to post one. I understand why but part of me wonders if we haven’t learned anything.

I don't talk about job promotions very often, but this one deserves a little celebration. I just made L9 as an individual contributor on Google's engineering ladder, which means I've earned the privilege of referring to my role as "Distinguished" on all my slide decks.

You can be a cop and hurt or even kill people, and you almost certainly won’t be fired. But if you have an Only Fans? You’re OUT, ladies! Because the police hold people to MORAL STANDARDS 🙄

Elon Musk is again claiming that he’s all about free speech. So let’s look at the record. Here’s thread with just a few of the countless examples showing he couldn't care about it less (🧵)

Read Jackson Rising by @CooperationJXN (@JoshuaPHilll)Thu, 27 Oct 2022 16:01 +0000

Hey @TwitterSupport! Now that “the bird is free”, could you please also free @mmatuzo? He’s not a spammer nor a troll. He is a much-needed voice of change in the Web community who creates important work – and you deplatformed him for no reason! That’s just not cool. 😒

Post details

Wow, @mmatuzo is now suspended? 🤯 Manuel is a well-respected member of the web community, accessibility advocate, and international conference speaker. Please look into this, @TwitterSupport – there really must be an error here!

yep! giga-racists and horrendous harassment parties make Twtter great! an individual cannot block hundreds or thousands of people. no site should just bulldoze you with hate speech and go "aww you dont like this? sowwy go cry about it"

Post details

This is going to cause controversy, but platform censorship had clearly gone too far. Content moderation should be an individual decision, not a corporate prison. Let people make their own choices—and not just on Twitter.

It is my strong belief that VC-backed OSS creates perverse incentives that are fundamentally at odds with the open source ethos. It promotes competition over collaboration, lock-in over flexibility, marketing over innovation, and eventually, monetization.
