    This is what micromanaging from the top looks like, when the CEO *thinks* they can tell the source of the problem and how to fix it, just by looking at it.

    It’s incredibly frustrating when it happens to you. It’s rare to see it this public.

    Good luck to engineers in the weeds.

    Update: company sources tell me that yesterday Twitter eliminated ~4,400 of its ~5,500 contract employees, with cuts expected to have significant impact to content moderation and the core infrastructure services that keep the site up and running.

    People inside are stunned.

    a fun one is "anime" which in japanese is an english loanword referring to all animation (it's just the first three syllables of "animation") and then it got loaned back into english to mean "japanese animation"

    The Epyc system is now carrying the load of Infosec.exchange. There are now 112 cpu cores (224 threads) and 1TB of RAM across 6 servers powering the site. Now I can breath.

  • 🔴 LIVE Q&A! Twitter is melting down, whose platforms can you trust? and what is a Mastodon?

    It's been quite a week! I'm back from London, Twitter is melting down, and I've still got a mess of a studio to clean up! The rain finally let up in London and I did get a short opportunity to fly my drone a bit tho!

    11 out of 10. Very worth it. Can’t believe I’ve missed this perk every time I’ve gone through Heathrow this year 🫠

    OH. I just found out Emerald Status means I get to use the first class check in at Heathrow with your own security line 😱

    I’ve been standing in security lines for no reason all year 😅
    Aaron Parecki
    Are you serious, I was just there on Friday and waited in the normal line I had no idea 🤯

    "It’s like everyone has spent the last few years in a giant all-inclusive resort. Now we’re moving into nice little bed-and-breakfast places, but we’re complaining because it takes slightly more effort to book a room, and the free WIFI isn’t as fast." https://mxb.dev/blog/the-indieweb-for-everyone/

    Yep! I simply don't see how someone with millions followers practically would *work* with this protocol
    Aaron Parecki
    Ironically the problem is already solved if the protocol worked the other direction, aka the web. We know how to scale websites to be able to be accessed by millions of people at a time.

    @aaronpk yeah, it's because legit advertisers are fleeing Twitter.

    Has anyone else noticed their suggested tweets as well as ads on twitter have gotten significantly worse today?

    Reading about the tech stack undergirding most Mastodon/fediverse instances, and I am sadly not optimistic that there is a practical path to scale this past a small fraction of twitter's size in the medium term
    Aaron Parecki
    It's actually worse than that, the protocol itself needs some serious work to scale it up too.

    In summary:

    (1) Family time is limited—cherish it.

    (2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones.

    (3) Partner time is significant—never settle.

    (4) Children time is precious—be present.

    (5) Coworker time is significant—find energy.

    (6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.
