with what they are working on and “code samples” if they are engineers. https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/21/23472372/elon-musk-wants-every-twitter-employee-sending-weekly-updates-about-their-work-via-email-now https://twitter.com/alexeheath/status/1594857578256748544?s=46&t=-_rmwtQ57a67LK3KrJ8J0w
What a troll, no one got time for thousands of emails and code samples per day.
Elon has all the time in the world
There’s probably like 100 engineers left
This dude is single handily ruining our industry
Knowing most (lazy) devs and PMs, I would shift the weekly update to Monday instead of Friday. That way, I’d make sure they work over the weekend as well. Can’t let these B*t*h*s take the weekend off after giving a Friday update.
It’s still a Friday update, just sent on Monday? What do they feed you at MSFT??
MSFT is a coaster company. I’m the only hardcore here. No, there’s always the few intense folks who will work over the weekend to bulk up that update. This will put pressure on the remaining and they’d start doing the same to avoid getting fired.
"what exactly.. do ya do here"
So folks who are putting off fire may get fired due to no time for coding. Code samples will start containing some bs nonsense code. Unnecessary refactoring, adding/removing duplicate code, rewriting libraries … you name it. Folks who survive in this will be cheaters who are not a genuine contributor. This will kick out true contributors and the operation will suffer. I am so sad for the naïve engineers who will work hard to make the system run but will get cut. It looks like it will be hellish for the next few months and the employees will screw up their health. They would have better off taking the severance and start interviewing around or have a rest by taking some other jobs like science teaching or coding schools for kids.
do you really think he has time for this? or is this another bullshit article made up by the media
It’s an internal memo so he def wrote it. he doesn’t have time to read these emails. That's what makes it so ridiculous.
He will form a department to figure out the performance based on the emails and that department will be run by tesla engineers ..
I think Elon should have the developers tweet their work, and then run polls for who to keep this week and who to fire.
😂
Winter is coming for devs when the rest of the tech world wakes up to the fact they’re bloated as fuck. Twitter was just the first.
lmao this is not going to be the takeaway.
Sounds pretty bloated to have engineers spending time on the weekly reports. And attaching code samples... If only there is a version control system to track codes submitted each week...
