Twitter sort of felt like having your head stuck in a beehive and so I understand that saying "I'm going to miss the bees" might cause some confusion but I am absolutely 100% going to miss the bees

Like: hey, what if we started dismantling a train while it was in motion? And then fired all the people who knew how to run it? It’ll keep coasting for a while, sure, but one pebble on the track and the whole thing is gonna crash.

Am hearing the number of Twitter resignations today is likely over 1,000, though unclear as not all are posting their decision.

Some teams, such as the engineering team that manages Twitter’s core system libraries, are completely gone now. https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/17/23465274/hundreds-of-twitter-employees-resign-from-elon-musk-hardcore-deadline

Story to be updated soon with more: Am hearing that several “critical” infra engineering teams at Twitter have completely resigned. “You cannot run Twitter without this team,” one current engineer tells me of one such group. Also, Twitter has shut off badge access to its offices.

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.
