Twitter: Trash Engineering culture

I just listened to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Twitter...I am appalled by Twitter. They don't even have a centralized logging system. They have no staging test environment. They don't have proper permissions credential delegation so any engineer can just randomly access user data. They allow Chinese CCP ads even though China has banned Twitter. This allows China to gather user impression data. WTF?? What a bunch of BS.

If they spent time coding instead of twerking for Elon, maybe Twitter would be better.

Maybe twerking for Zuck would keep Meta busy from constantly self destructing

Meta ❄️❄️😁 Dec 5, 2022

Don’t blame me I work on WhatsApp. I’m coding, not twerking. But every time I walk by reality Labs, it’s just a lot of thunderous clapping from their booty cheeks smashing together as they twerk in unison.

What if they used tweets for logging?

Meta ❄️❄️😁 Dec 5, 2022

Every tweet generates a log tweet, which is a tweet that begets a log tweet☯️

They have no staging???

Meta ❄️❄️😁 Dec 5, 2022

Oh there’s staging all right. There’s a massive stage near Elon’s office and he calls the engineers up one by one to twerk for him.

who said? both those statements are wrong

Square Tres_Comas Dec 5, 2022

For all we know, Musk told the remaining engineers to get rid of the logging infrastructure and staging environments as cost cutting measures

Facebook has not staging either. Tonight. We test in prod.

Coinbase coinfused Dec 5, 2022

There’s good reason for this though. Facebook release eng is top notch.

Uber Celeron366 Dec 6, 2022

That is accurate. Literally carried 10k rubbish php coders.

LinkedIn aaavp Dec 5, 2022

Is there other test environment?

Uber Celeron366 Dec 5, 2022

Linkedin has staging. Although things are half broken most of the time

LinkedIn aaavp Dec 5, 2022

We test on production sir

Amazon cd0ea0ff12 Dec 5, 2022

Everyone knows real devs test on prod

Google quit|!quit Dec 6, 2022

People still test? That was so like 2010’s

Can speak about redbird( infra and platform) 1. There is centralized logging 2. There are test, staging and canaries 3. No, you cannot access user data. Except for the data stored in the infra storages and its clean up was part of FTC agreement
