Congratulations Zack! Don’t think nobody reads through these slideshows.

My favourite part is that exact bit of exchange:

Fake meats. Just be vegan, or don’t be.

I got laid off last week. I will gladly talk sh%$ about my last company, after my references check out and I land a new job.

Until then: I am super happy with the amazing opportunity (insert lying cheating bastard company’s name) provided me. I will forever be grateful that we worked on such incredible projects…

What’d you expect? The guy to actually admit he was over his head? Humility in tech culture? That ain’t it. 

You forgot to mention the Twitter Space that Hotz hosted yesterday, where Musk naively called for a “total rewrite” of the whole twitter stack, and then received well deserved pushback from an actual engineer:

These are the rockstars that roll in, make changes, claim everything is amazing, and bounce (from company or project). Then it gets deployed and they can yell, “Worked when I left!”

Once again “searched for” ≠ “popular” . When will this crap ever stop? 

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…

A record drop is still a record!

““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.

50% of the disaster is the drink, the other 50% is going to Applebee’s in the first place.

Know what we want for 2023? No more god damned slide shows.

Cheese and fruit go together incredibly well.

I swear to God, if I drop out of warp (or whatever we’re calling FTL here) and a ship doesn’t come out of nowhere and comms come up and they don’t say: “I’ve been looking for you. Got something I’m supposed to deliver - your hands only.”
It’s a wasted opportunity.
