Happy New Year!
I have never pulled an overnighter while working a full time gig and there is literally no one who I would do so for. I've worked on occasion, late or early, or took an hour or so to run a job late at night but to be involved on a project for hours and hours after the workday has ended, nope. https://twitter.com/EricaJoy/status/1591479405687504897

“is there anyone, in any industry, for whom you might pull all nighters in the office? i can think of 2.”

Elon Musk tweeted an image on a whiteboard from a "Twitter HQ code review" that wrapped up early Saturday. The image has attracted nearly 12k upvotes and over 1,000 comments over at the subreddit r/ProgrammerHumor, under the title "Twitter for Dummies". The image itself is an architecture schematic, not code. I put it on a Miro Board and Luke Dubois and Mark Hansen helped annotate it. If you're curious how Twitter's bits work, check it out here: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPBnTJmM=/?share_link_id=748653261357

I don't know who told this was a code review but this isn't a code review, https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1593899029531803649 it's an architecture overview, you know the sort of thing you get to understand the major pieces of a complex infrastructure something you might consider before firing whole teams and telling people to randomly turn off systems. Twitter probably had a group in the Foundations team who did that as full time job.

This is how a team that's under the gun to just ship stuff regardless of it making any sense or having someone act as a coordinator of teams to ensure they're doing the right thing would act https://twitter.com/wongmjane/status/1590415250205323264

The best business people know the way to really ensure people think you are just swell to work with it is to screw up when firing thousands of people getting their separation letters. https://twitter.com/ZoeSchiffer/status/1591152301817102336

“Lol: Twitter sent an HR email to every laid off employee acknowledging it's late getting people their separation agreements and release of claims. But the company messed up the BCC and it has become a reply-all catastrophe.”
