Offices will reopen on November 21st. In the meantime: "Please continue to comply with company policy by refraining from discussing confidential company information on social media, with the press or elsewhere."

NEW: Twitter just alerted employees that effective immediately, all office buildings are temporarily closed and badge access is suspended. No details given as to why.

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.

When talking about employment law technically right is pretty important

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.

Twitter data suggests most of the people buying Twitter Blue are promoting three things: right wing politics, cryptocurrency, and porn. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/16/musk-twitter-email-ultimatum-termination/

Folks. There is nothing more centralized than a registry.

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:

Big "drinking raw eggs while listening to 2 motivational podcasts, one in each ear at 2x speed" energy

Trick question. The correct answer is whatever you’ve been wearing since you showed up at the office Monday morning.

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??

Me: zomg I'm just trying to hydrate leave me alone

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.

BREAKING: Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, has filed to run for president again in 2024. https://n.pr/3THqnJM

I think Twitter is broken — pretty sure most of these tweets I’m seeing are from several years ago.
