I can't believe Musk fired a top engineer like Yao Yue. Today many people of *core* systems were fired. This is going to end really bad.
@antirez I really appreciate the birdsite but part of me wants a collapse so that Elon's behavior isn't seen by other companies as a viable tech leadership approach
@jerel Yep, that's a point. The good outcome if things turn out very bad is what you said, and maybe less trust for Musk in general which would be a very valuable thing. The opposite risk is that if Twitter surives this will be seen as viable.
@antirez really bad indeed but who is going to get the short end of the stick? I'm sure #Musk will keep going without admitting any error on his part

@antirez indeed, welcome to Mastodon!

Yours was one the first accounts that I looked up when I landed here days ago, glad to see you around!

@antirez welcome to @Mastodon. Forget Musk. Twitter was a nice platform. No more.

@antirez aaaaaaand it didn't age any better ofc.
Has no idea about the stack, except it's the whole problem, decides to re-write the whole platform, the ultimate noobie pitfall 🤦 🤦 🤦

“How it started: Ex-Twitter engineer asks Elon about new features to which Elon replied “to have high velocity features, there needs to be a total rewrite of the stack” Elon Musk claims to be an engineer, but he can’t even answer simple tech question & attacks REAL engineers”
