He’s tweeting at his underlings hoping they are too afraid to dunk on him.

Replying to @ZoeSchiffer
He’s gone from communicating very little with Twitter employees to sending multiple one line emails to the whole company.
It's ok to be in complete denial that the platform you love has died on its arse due to inept management and you are clinging on pretending nothing has happened. I loved App.Net as much as you do ......

Elon Musk has been directing subordinates to comb through Twitter's Slack and make lists of people making fun of him or his plans for firing. They've also been monitoring employee's tweets. Latest w/ @kateconger and @MikeIsaac) nytimes.com/2022/11/15/techn…

Elon is just demanding random people on his website tell him how it works now
Elon Musk @elonmusk I was told ~1200 RPCs independently by several engineers at Twitter, which matches # of microservices. The ex-employee is wrong. Same app in US takes ~2 secs to refresh (too long), but ~20 secs in India, due to bad batching/verbose comms. Actually useful data transferred is low. Popeska @Popeska The batching is done server-side where the initial client request doesn't matter - GraphQL resolves the request across the microservices and then sends it back. The internal graph is the same regardless of request origin Elon Musk @elonmusk 2h How many serial requests are made by app to refresh timeline? Popeska Just one! You can look at your network tab in Chrome - it's this one. [screenshot of… a list of codey stuff] Popeska (have not worked at twitter - just poking around)

We learned so much from these observations. We’d often see testers get stuck in rooms that had morphball tunnel exits--they won’t notice them. This resulted in putting big spotlights over those entrances to make them stand out as a path. 2/5

Now getting video ads for RayBan’s privacy invading sunglasses. Glad I’m still boycotting them.
Kinda surprised early voting isn’t a big thing in SF.

How long until Twitter is only accessible from Mars?
Lol, some scammer sent me an invoice on that pal-paying-site giving a fake customer service number. Almost attempted to call it just to see what happens.

If Elon ruins Twitter my backup plan is to get some work done for a change.
