Thinking of the time Elon publicly fired an Android engineer for saying that the app was slow because of technical debt and a full rewrite is needed to address perf problems. 3 months on, Elon himself proposes a full rewrite himself, because a config change caused an outage. 😅

Everyone please stop talking about this. It was just a minor outage of the entire platform for over an hour caused by our need to relentlessly monetize every aspect of this website without any knowledgeable staff or adequate planning. This is not a big deal!

Ok I have to say this as someone who still codes, by hand, everyday. Using terms like "brittle for no good reason" to justify tight deadlines and/or not doing regression testing makes you sound like you don't know anything about Software Engineering

We once turned our university map into an AR map that showed you the route to where you wanted to go. It was better than this and nobody paid us.

Now there is a Sidekick, who’s pitch is that it’s a “productivity browser”. Today it's launching a host of features geared to ADHD sufferers and the attention distracted more generally. Sidekick was a 2020 Y Combinator cohort member , and in March 2021 they raised $2M in a round led by Kleiner Perkins.

Theory without any data: enforced PE and team sports at school has a lasting and noticeable negative impact on cohort health in adulthood. Instead of fostering a love of exercise, it terrifies kids for life and enables bullying. How to fix it? Idk.
