I think it's a good thing for rich executives to be fired without their golden parachutes, but Musk sucks, so...

"For cause" abuse to deny severance pay and benefits is a workers rights issue. All those people suck but the concept of needing a real cause to fire someone should be defended.

At every big tech company there are about a dozen people who do some task as part of their job that if they didn't do it, the whole thing would break, and no one else knows how to do, and nobody knows exactly who these people are until they are gone.

What does this mean, for those of us that don't code or whatever?

Large scale programs use something called source control. Where a team of multiple people have access and can modify the program simultaneously. When you make a change on your computer, you "commit" the change and that propagates to the source control system, so everyone else has the changed version now. You also have the ability to roll back commits if there are problems, to easily switch to a previous version.

Most commits as a metric is ridiculous. You might go in and write a brand new giant function and only do a few commits in the process. You might go change the hex value of a color somewhere and commit it, and commit everytime you make a slight change and rack up dozens of commits in a day.

I wouldn't take anything Alexandra Erin says as gospel. She is not an expert in anything she just does nothing but post on Twitter nonstop 24 hours a day and read it so she knows what experts sound like on there and mimics it. She's basically the same as the "game theory" dude except she posts way way more.

"It's the brainchild of cryptocurrency firm Elon GOAT Token ($EGT), who later this month plan to present it to the billionaire at his Tesla workplace in Austin, Texas.

$EGT said: 'Most people thought we would never do it, but after one year of building the time has come to bring it home to Elon.

'Really we just want to meet the guy and give it to him. After all, he is the most innovative human alive, hence the GOAT - Greatest Of All Time.'"

Wait, is this a Trojan horse situation? Cause that seems like a Trojan horse situation. A bunch of guys are gonna pop out of that thing after they turn off the lights and sack his corporate offices.

Tech journalists are reporting that ~900 people are still there

If I had to guess I'd assume the real number is somewhere between 238 and the 900

238 at "Twitter hq" and the remaining ~640 at other locations would make sense

25% API failure rate from a company that size is a BFD for sure. I wrote a middleware solution in python on our Django server my first year as a dev (was for a contest sign up and literally the second time I ever touched python in a prod env) and while it worked it didn't have timing and batching to the database done as well as it could have. I had a 10% failure rate for contest submissions that I updated immediately based on failure notices from the sentry integration. To me, as a junior, green AF dev, 10% failure was unacceptable and I wanted to do better. Fixed the issue next day and verified the 10% in question were processed. I think our current threshold for these failures is either 0.75% or 0.5% and trust me we are way smaller and jankier than Twitter. Well, maybe the same amount of jank now that they lost everyone that knew how to do anything.

I've been a professional programmer with a degree working for 20 years and I don't understand 5% of what the gently caress you just said

When I saw this in another thread, I quickly passed it over as just Musk doing his "TO MARS! FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY!" future-bullshit.

.....Then I took a closer look. Seriously, is it just the image's lovely quality, or are all the people being barred form the giant spaceship by armed police people of color?
