Rumor is Elon ran analysis to see how much code engineers had written in last year and stack ranked based on volume written.

if that’s true, he’s even dumber than trump

What is this, 1993? We're back to judging the performance of a software engineer based on total lines of code written? Does Musk have any concept of algorithm efficiency? Or is he such a willfully ignorant fuckboi that he doesn't know the difference between a bubble sort and an insertion sort?

Sounds like an incentive to start writing really inefficient, hard-to-read spaghetti code. Like, what if I start using a bunch of nested ifs instead of switch/case statements just to pad my stats? Not like fuckboi is gonna know the difference, apparently. Oh, I know, let's rewrite the Twitter API using SOAP instead of REST!

It's not about the code. Twitter staff wasn't there to keep reinventing the wheel with code. They were there to babysit the millions of users who use its services daily. They were there to patch sh*t when those users found the weak points.

Musk bought a social network but thinks it's just software.


I have a hunch he's brought his Tesla staff in view, copy, and gut the code.

They're going to find all the interactions and features they can use across the rest of Muskbrands! (TM)(C)(R) and leave Twitter a flaming pile of dogsh*t. But we'll have transitioned to the next social source.

MySpace > Facebook > Vine > Twitter > Instagram > TikTok > ??? > profit!
 
Musk to allow "long form" attachments of text to eliminate need for "notepad snapshots."

Essentially allowing long form manifestos instead of just Tweeting a link to their Facebook account like regular Gen X'ers.

So, we have:

Greatest Generation: Yelling at FOX News from their wheelchairs.

Boomers: FOX News and Facebook.

Gen X: Facebook and Twitter

Millenials: Last grasp of Twitter, moving to TikTok

Zoomers: TikTok until they find a new home to get away from their parents.

Gen Alpha: Still licking their iPhones as pacifiers.
 
Well considering they fired almost all of the crew in moderation and the human rights group (and didn't think that would warrant backlash) its not surprising.

edit: forgot to add "smart" businessmen pull this move and hire them back for less. Elon is going to need to re-hire them for more.
