“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.

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

Camden must’ve missed the past week on LinkedIn, the turnover of Roe v Wade, this year’s layoffs, the political conversations… LinkedIn is a special kind of hell because you have those who are fake with toxic positivity and those who don’t give a shit that they’re assholes. twitter.com/camdenhutchiso…

Post details

Linkedin, the preferred social media platform for business professionals, is 100% positive and supportive interactions. Twitter, the preferred social media platform for academics and other "intellectuals," is a toxic hellscape. What does this tell you?

In summary… all of social media is a shitscape and there are harmful people no matter where you go.

I was not laid off yesterday, but I don’t know how to move forward. Reminders of my friends and teammates are everywhere -- we’re taking over code they drafted, deploying changes they landed on Thursday, and pinging in team channels just to see if anyone is left 💔

The greatest irony of the pandemic for me is that many of the protective measures instituted against covid were successful enough that people became convinced they weren't necessary in the first place.

congrats to every Twitter employee who commits their entire venv/ for avoiding the layoffs. Elon needs allstars like you who can push 200k lines of code in a single merge.

No the translation is the Conservatives controlling the media and allowing a decent point being taken out of context to make the opposition appear bad

I love this image. Saturn's moon Mimas, hanging in space in front of the giant planet's northern hemisphere. The bands across the planet are the shadows of Saturn's rings, which make an appearance at the bottom of the scene.

Every time I hear a Tory MP complain about £5 million or £50 million being spent on asylum seekers I remember that they spent £120 million on the Festival of Brexit which included putting an old empty oil rig on display in Weston-super-Mare

The contradictory Oxford comma use, the missing punctuation, the random insertions of Elon-speak… It’s always immediately noticeable when copy editors get fired

From a Twitter engineer who was fired on Friday: “We built this already, and the whole product team that created this functionality was fired. Same with the other product ideas Elon is sharing (eg better search).”

No identity verification, & 8 bucks for a verified account? Get ready for the new cyber criminal playbook: use stolen credit card to buy verified Twitter account, impersonate real customer support channels, trick users into handing over account details in DM, account takeover.

Elon Musk trying to rapidly and without consultation jam the square peg of his libertarian fever dream into the round hole of Twitter like a month after watching the spectacular failure that was Liz Truss trying the same thing with the UK economy. She beta tested for you, man.

If you're thinking "I don't want to make another account on Mastodon" take this oppertunity to clear out all the other random shit accounts you don't need and balance it out. I am rampaging through 1Password closing everything. JetBlue, British Airways, Carta, Mancrates(?!).

...because the point of verification should be about actually verifying who you are, not about paying for fancy badge and utilizing an algorithm to artificially inflate your social media clout. 📈

Musk firing half of the workers at Twitter while complaining that the woke left is ruining the platform is the perfect summary of the current conservatives movement. Get power, make things worse, play the victim.

Gen X is tired. We know we need to vote, just quietly leave a pamphlet and let us alone. One of the nicest things about being a hermit whose driveway looks like nobody lives here is that no goddamned door knockers show up. No Mormons, no JWs, no political ones, nobody.

We now acknowledge that it is rude to randomly call people on the phone, but somehow showing up in person and expecting someone to stop what they are doing and talk to you about about topic not of their choice is fine. How!?!!

Pointing out that your sound good, hustle-culture compatible tweet is not factually true, and is promoting toxic work culture prime for burn out is not getting mad.
