It’ll go round and round, sometimes with a load of outright falsehoods, with which you’re supposed to get discouraged by researching all the facts to counter, or it’ll be partials and omissions.

On another angle, I’ll point to the “Chinese Communist Party”, that governs China, but only seems to have the authoritarian part down, without any of the communist parts that benefit the people of the country. Another label that doesn’t fit.

With a name like “Proletariat” the question is why aren’t they already unionised?

If it’s so big and complicated and crazy... that’s yet another reason not to rewrite it. Do you think it’s worth spending all that time replicating functionality that already exists — simply so the CEO likes it?

My favourite part is that exact bit of exchange:

Let’s take over a million lines of code and just start over because I have a seriously shallow and naive understanding of all the things that make up Twitter and I think it would be easier to understand if all that complexity went away. I mean, it would all still work, right? Come on, it can’t take more that 12 weeks…

lol, one question on specifics and he literally melts

“Twitter probably can’t get down to less than 50 LAWYERS”

He explained to some Twitter users that the reason he quit was because he “expected the environment of a startup and found something very different.”

It’s almost as if hacking a PS3 doesn’t necessarily qualify you to completely recode the search engine of one of the biggest social media platforms on the planet.

You think it’d be a good idea to quit twitter without praising Elon? Anything less, and he’d have a dozen tweets out about how bad Hotz was, how he made everything worse, and where people should go to burn down his house.

Surprise, surprise. Sadly he didn’t even manage to learn enough to change his mind about twitter only needing to be “50 people”.

Twitter probably can’t get down to less than 50 LAWYERS, much less 50 employees. Even the idea of only 50 engineers is patently ridiculous. You’re going to need that many people to just…

tech bros believe they are all beyond reproach and any failings are despite the work they do, not because of. the robber barons of the 21st century

Think many are insecure deep down and know Twitter actually could be 50 people, just not overnight, but in a year or two.

““done a phenomenal job” with the social media company thus far”

Uh what? It’s amazing how greed for money makes people say stupid things.

“I am sorry but aren’t these buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? I am fired aren’t I?” Someone at this company probably.

And it’s not even like being extraordinarily knowledgeable about a complex historical topic has any sort of value, right?

Utilizing their core competencies in order to better envision a growth-oriented future, Yuga Labs is guaranteeing a solid foundation by which customer and client success will flourish across all verticals and blockchain technology will capitalize on an expansive model of profitability and a deeper understanding of the…

Yeah, and the Art History majors are the ones who don’t deserve to have a job.

I dunno, leaking front heat exchangers could be a big deal depending on the leak. If any of my cars had a leaking radiator or oil cooler, I’d stop driving it until I could fix it to avoid overheating/running the oil dry... I imagine the cost to replace the Veyron’s engine is easily more expensive than the purchase…
