Now I can't wait to leave... The worst thing that could've happened to me is that this was my only option. Fortunately, it's not.
What would happen??????
Of the 11K or so people laid off I am making a low estimate that they have 100 unique connections on all of their social media. What of they reached out and asked all there contacts to delete their twitter accounts. How would that if any impact... — read more

More layoffs - but how?
Who is even left to get rid of, other than some desperate people who truly have no choice, that is? All those with options or worth their salt have walked away already. I swear, it'll not take nearly as long as I thought for this whole wobbly house... — read more

The Borg Elon
Elon has the right to do what he wants as he spent a lot of money to buy Twitter. However, the insensitive manner in which he did it shows a lack of human empathy. The bird is dead the culture is destroyed. The massive cuts are due to the extra 13... — read more

Twitter in two years
I personally don't see my future at Twitter anymore. Five years is too long, so I ask where do you see this company in two years? I wouldn't like dark forecasts for this company to come true, but on the other hand, the future does not look very... — read more

Meanwhile in Europe
So Musk sent emails to European Twitter employees, firing them. Problem is, you cannot legally fire people that way here, so legally they're still employed and legally owed money for their time. But also, firing people as exists in the USA doesn't... — read more
Musk Will Have Last Laugh
He is going to staff Twitter with the same caliber of real engineers just like at Tesla and Spacex. There will be potholes along the way but I would not bet against him. He will get rid all of the pseudo engineers who know some programming language... — read more

What they call tech is nothing more than simple coding. Coding is not rocket science. Nor is it research. It is just basic logic that someone with a technical mind can do.

Why I left Twitter or rather why I did not sign up for “extremely hardcore” Twitter 2.0
It’s not because I want Twitter to fail or think the site is about to collapse. Some think it will, maybe but I dunno. I wasn’t in infra and those people were incredible, the systems are resilient. Remember what happened when the queen died while... — read more
