twitter also turned off their api for anyone who hadn’t paid them, but didn’t realize their own apps and website use the same api. So the whole site stopped working for like an hour.
:my-hero: .
A smart and rational system where the person with the most power in a company can't be fired even as he destroys said company.
Selling the noose that hangs them. It's so good. :stalin-feels-good:
He can be fired though. He doesn't control 50%+ of the private stock.
Corporate board can strip him of everything.
I’m both surprised and relieved this site doesn’t have a Yeltsin emote.
This is like Christmas for the experts in software incidents that I follow. They’re like “I will seriously pay money to be able to go to the post-mortem for this”
lol I often say i would kill to go to a lot of postmortems, i've been saying it a lot lately about twitter
who is it that you follow? that sounds right up my alley
These people are excellent at their craft and their tweets seriously broaden my understanding about incidents:

Also this dude just rocks, and posts so many insightful things about stuff like systems thinking, software philosophy and Marxism. I wish there were more thinkers like him in our industry:

critical support to musk for blowing away thirty billion dollars of a rich asshole's wealth
Yeah unfortunately losing money on the stock market only really results in making some other rich asshole richer.
Not just any rich asshole. Isn't one of the people with the most skin in the game one of the saudi princes? Which means Musk might get bonesawed if he becomes to much of a liability
This is what happens when you just turn systems off until you find out what breaks.
hexbear dead pool for twitter
pay $10 to pick a date, closest takes all
Would be funny if they charged themselves and forgot to turn it off so their account drains
"Well we would just take the money back out of the account but Elon suggested we use all new income to invest in Ponzi coin and that's gone down to $0."
Wyatt Koch is kinda funny. Although not nearly as public as Elon. Also, not sure if he's got a billion yet.
why would a raised character limit break the website? I only did a little programming in my time, but aren't characters and strings really basic data types that take up astoundingly small amounts of memory? Is twitter's web-ui that shitty that changing the character limit breaks the site?
imagine you have a messenger pigeon, and try to make it carry a novel
i'm seeing a lot of posts about the downfall of twitter, being reposted tweets.
any day now i'm sure lol.
