The greatest emoji ever.
A bunch of Twitter engineers who were still at the company as of this morning, people I've known and respected for years, just called Elon's bluff, took the offer of severance, and said 🫡— Chad Loder - @chadlo✧✧✧@kolekt✧✧✧.soc✧✧✧ (@chadloder) November 17, 2022

Salute emoji suggests to me 'yes sir, right away sir' rather than 'fuck of Musk' as it seems to be being used

Fuck of Musk and Eye of Toad

It's used as a fuck off emoji whenever I've seen it.
It's a way of saying fuck off to people you cannot say fuck off to, is how I see it.

it must be really frustrating to still be working there, in the middle of a work crisis, after clicking a button that indicated that you were hardcore and that Outstanding was the only acceptable performance, minimum of 96/7 work hours, and then you see elon replying to ticketmaster about taylor swift

its so funny how he keeps doing that thing where you use jargon to make yourself sound more serious but youre obviously just a poser and everyone hates you

and then he asks for screenshots lmao if youre going to go out of your way to mention the implementation detail of committing you should at least commit yourself to using that system to track the code youre interested in which not coincidentally is the thing its for

someone in the thread pointed out these emails are just a way of him trying to find out who leaks things to the press. weird but maybe possible?
also, new tweets seem to be loading way slower than before. 5s or more
― fpsa, Friday, 18 November 2022 17:20 (one year ago) link
he seems to make a habit of making people around him repeatedly justify their qualifications for being there, which miiiiight be a bit of projection on his part, maybe something that a forbidden recess of his mind keeps trying to bring up
― Karl Malone, Friday, 18 November 2022 17:22 (one year ago) link
if i were him and committed to fake cinematic boss bullshit i would at least ask like what ideas of yours have made twitter a million dollars or more, thats actually an interesting thought experiment, and peoples answers would probably at least give you some insight into how they work and think, but some screenshots of code who gives a shit its totally meaningless, ask them how much code theyve deleted its a much more useful activity

I had a low opinion of Elon, but I didn't think he was this stupid about software. (assuming this isn't a leak detector)

its not about leaks hes been doing this the whole time number of lines committed was one of the things they looked at when deciding who to fire

yeah but what is a "salient line of code"??? does he think there's going to be like one line of code that's brilliant and impactful in isolation?
"yeah this line is the differential equation that figures out how to align memory allocation to page boundaries, taking into account virtualization and cache latency"

but can you directly buy, sell or trade those nft avatars, on twitter? because wow, when they do that it's going to bring a lot of attention to the amazing auto-generated nft images that are out there and drive up the value. there are some really, really good images out there, people are spending a ton of time looking at them and enjoying them
