I can admit when I'm wrong and I was wrong about @elonmusk. No one was more skeptical than I - but his decisions this week have shown he really *can* put a social network on the path to unprecedented success. Specifically Mastodon.

Maybe he should ask questions privately. Maybe using Slack or email. 🤷‍♂️

Not when he just fired half the company and is trying to take credit for identifying a problem a dev says doesn't exist. If the boss doesn't treat his organization with respect, then he brings disrespect on himself.

Tweeting things like this is not how you support a dev team.

But it is also terrible because I immediately think someone is judging my entire home and must deep clean it at 1 in the morning.

I think it could be this, but it also could be that he’s trying to make Twitter look more poorly-managed than it actually was, to make himself look better. And especially to make the layoffs/firings look smart. twitter.com/glennf/status/…

I expect the reason Elon keeps posting bad data, like it costs $400 a day per person to feed Twitter employees lunch and dinner, is that his remaining employees hate him and are feeding him bad data of a kind that they know he will uncritically tweet.

I’m not straight out leaving Twitter, but I did join Mastodon and I will find time to up my IndieWeb game. Reason? Musk took the fun out of Twitter. Writing here now feels like an endorsement of him and I never want to endorse him :/

Once upon a time, I thought I wasn't good enough to be in rooms full of engineers. They seemed so confident, like they really knew what they were talking about. So I read all the docs, and learned a lot. And then I realized that many of them confidently sounded like this:

As the former tech lead for timelines infrastructure at Twitter, I can confidently say this man has no idea wtf he's talking about twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What he is referring to as RPC is in fact, g+RPC, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GraphQL plus RPC—

you did not just layoff almost all of infra and then make some sassy remark about how we do batching like did you bother to even learn how graphql works

This is a cautionary tale in workplace environments. I've worked under Luke, and this didn't come out of nowhere. My very first interaction with him, I could tell he was a jerk. The problem is people excuse jerky behavior from men if they're "successful".

I'm thinking of DM'ing people for their contact details so that I can stay in touch with them (in case they leave Twitter or Twitter leaves Twitter) -- maybe even post a personal newsletter to friends and people in my network (monthly?). Do you think this is a good idea? 👀

A permanent reminder that former PMs still have duties, which is why there is government funding for the offices of former Prime Ministers.

Watching Liz Truss at the cenotaph and it occurs she’s got like 50 years ahead of her attending state events as Former Prime Minister, a permanent reminder of the thing where she blew up her one shot at the top in 50 days flat. It’s like some kind of punishment from a Greek myth
