On the downside, Twitter is probably going to die and there’s nothing that actually replaces it.

On the upside, everyone’s wit is RAZOR-SHARP right now. Everyone’s at their most savage and I love you.

Whatever the opposite of “hardcore” 10x rock star dev is, that’s what I want.

cosycore, moving slowly, making things right, petting the dog, naps, staring out of the window pondering problems and drinking tea.

Anyone skilled enough to get a new job in less than three months with no drama is financially rewarded for clicking “No.” Low performers with lacklustre résumés and poor professional prospects will click “Yes,” and they’re the ones who’ll build Twitter 2.0. Genius.

Wouldn't it be great if the YouTube algorithm could just tell us what to do?

Well, it can't.

But the person that built it can.

That person is Todd (and he shares incredibly useful stuff on Twitter).

Here's 10 things he's shared that every YouTuber needs to know:

Oh yes, and 3: Elon has very obviously and demonstrably screwed up a lot in the last fortnight. I have never done a layoff, but I also know you should not lay people off and then the next day say ‘sorry, we shouldn’t have fired you, can you come back please?’ 🤷🏻‍♂️

My brain when I pick up a cup: isn't it so interesting that you can KNOW how much force to use when picking this up based on how full it is and almost never make a mistake??

As an engineer at Twitter, I can confirm that Elon Musk doesn’t understand anything about our website, or coding in general. Not gonna lie, we laugh REALLY hard about it behind his back. We’ve been calling him “the CEO,” but it stands for Code Efficiency 0.
