My thoughts and experiences in the world of software and technology

I think it would be very funny if Twitter used Stripe for payment processing, instead of Jack’s company.

I think it would be a very different kind of funny if Twitter tried to handle its own payment processing. 🙃

When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people …

This perpetuates a fundamentally bad idea: that you need to sacrifice health and friends etc to succeed in sv tech. Of course that’s not true and it sets young people on the wrong path.

Nat, no. 1) this feature is no “great new thing. Let’s not pretend it is 2) there’s a huge difference between working hard because you’re personally motivated by the mission vs a culture of fear 3) you know how many people do their best work when they’re burnt out? None.

In my experience most valuable engineers with in-out knowledge of complex domains & large codebases are too valuable to write code. Instead they act as leverage doing design, code reviews & PoCs. If they grew in the same company, their past LoC will be v high but not recent LoC.

At lots of Big Tech, during promotions, a frequent reason to deny promotions to senior and the next level (eg staff) is not frequent enough coding. They might not tell you this upfront btw. There’s the expectation that up to staff+ levels, you lead by example w coding output.

Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz)Sun, 06 Nov 2022 09:40 GMT

Literally stupid. If I write a function, and EVERYONE uses that function over & over & over because it’s so incredibly useful, do I get LOC credit for every where it’s used? I swear, I’m gonna die whilst yelling “Goodhart’s law! They didn’t listen to Goodhart’s law!”

Here is a big co secret (esp engineers whose main job is to code) — People will look at lines of code written to decide if you’re in or out. You can cry all about how it’s gameable, it’s not efficient etc. But that’s a metric all big cos use to assess poor performers.

It’s actually not a metric the big companies use at all. Nor does it indicate poor performance. People working on the hardest problems write less code, because the work isn’t in the coding, it’s in solving the problem. This shows you don’t understand software development.

In my early 20s, I thought sleeping only for four hours a day and working 80+ hours a week was fine. I have two chronic diseases and I rely on meds now. Don’t compromise your sleep and health for a job even if you’re the founder.

Advice for any tech worker who's been laid off: if your former employer comes running back to you asking for you to save their bacon, you can and should quote your "fuck off" consulting rates. Also, if it won't buy a house those rates are almost certainly not high enough.

I can’t shake the feeling that some folks are licking their lips at the market downturn, hoping that the boundaries workers have set up to not be exploited are gone. They aren’t.

It feels like some CEOs want to ignore what we've learned about burnout culture. Folks are free to grind if that's their choice (often isn't, but should be). You can otherwise still get your best work done within business hours - healthy orgs don't leave you drained.

Because Old Twitter did things in phases: 1. Plan it 2. Build it 3. Test internally (I understand it was here) 4. Test with cohorts, take feedback to make it better 5. Roll out globally

Doing it “right” would have meant shipping mobile changes to prod while building backend, then doing small cohort tests, then getting feedback + fixing outstanding issues, roll to a bigger group. It would have covered most edge cases from day one. BUT it would have taken long.

“So if they built it, why didn’t they ship it?” Old Twitter did things more careful & slow - both to get early feedback, and to not release half-baked features. This will clearly change. For the better in speed of release, and perhaps for worse for of quality, bugs, confusion.
