Before Musk jumped in there was a decent design culture with a lot of talent.
Musk fired most of the design squad and killed the culture.
“At press time, sources confirmed Musk had publicly fired a prominent CPU for loudly humming in a way that he said constituted insubordination.” 😂 😂 😂 https://www.theonion.com/elon-musk-demands-twitter-servers-explain-what-all-thes-1849786227

TC less than 100k
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/02/19/elon-musk-twitter-layoffs-tech/ Maybe it only takes 5 people to run Google after all. 4 to update the server package managers, and 1 to sit next to the server racks and make sure they are all plugged in.
How he gonna destroy woke virus with the last 5 h1b engineers grinding in server room barely keeping shit together. 😭 😂 https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/24/twitter-glitches-plague-desantis-presidential-announcement.html
With only 500k in the Twitter space and the server was down, they had to post another link and got only 160k audience to start with. I’m afraid tonight he will fire more engineers because of this embarrassment Desantis must be very upset about it, since last year, he has been carefully preparing f...Read more
For those at meta/twitter who were affected (and for those who want to support them) I've created a discord server to help work through what's going on. This is no longer meta centric, so the Twitter, Stripe, and anyone else can join. Please feel free to share, I will kick ban toxicity unless it i...Read more
Elon Musk moving servers himself shows his 'maniacal sense of urgency' at X, formerly Twitter https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/11/elon-musk-moved-twitter-servers-himself-in-the-night-new-biography-details-his-maniacal-sense-of-urgency.html

While elgon focus on software and servers side of things, should Cathie of ARKK be brought in as CEO of twitter.. ? It will be a great combo when disruptive tech meets free speech.. @tesla @arkk @twitter @disruptivetech @freespeech

I'm jotting this down after checking out an article on Twitter's server setup. So, in December 2022, Elon Musk got all worked up due to some lease trouble with X (formerly Twitter) and just out of the blue, decided to relocate thousands of servers from Sacramento to Portland in just a few days, even...Read more
#misc #x #twitter #politics #scaling 123 million views on X and counting. Assuming an average resolution of 7200, that is a lot of view sessions Was curious about the capacity and load for this event. How are the servers faring?
Can someone who is familiar with scaling explain what could have led to this problem ? Aren’t the replica streams/ servers /load balancers setup for multiple million users ? Is testing (before the event) at this million of user scale not even possible ? Without blindly disparaging twitter engin...Read more

30% charge. Netflix doesn’t pay it. They have their own web based payment system and just use that. They don’t let users do in app purchases. Netflix doesn’t pay 30%. Twitter has the web payment system already. If he doesn’t want to pay 30% he can just do what Netflix does? 100% he doesn’t know t...Read more
Twitter and Facebook cancel Trump account. Apple and Google cancel Parler app (conservative's Twitter). Amazon cancels Parler server. Conservative voice is totally canceled. Are we supposed to be happy? In The Friends of Voltaire, Hall wrote the phrase: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will def...Read more
