Twitter's Web client on iPad is broken, doesn't open keyboard when focusing Tweet text box (in timeline or in tweet modal). Total P1 & S1 if you ask me, users can't do the _main_ thing. Those org changes really showing their value..

Started contributing a RN project at work after not touching this ecosystem for ~5 years and their flex implementations still doesn't have gap support. Seriously? #wat
Scoop: I am hearing far fewer than expected devs hit "yes". Elon sent out an email relaxing remote working from the former draconian policy. I'm hearing he is having meetings w top engineers to convince them to stay. Sounds like playing hardball does not work. Ofc it doesn't.

Scoop: Elon Musk just sent an email to all staff outlining "Twitter 2.0", writing it will"need to be extremely hardcore". Long hours, high intensity. People need to click "yes" to confirm being part of this by 5pm ET tomorrow, else they get 3 months severance. More details:

I made an apple shortcut recently that is small but has helped me out at work. A simple pair of shortcuts, one opens the usual apps I need and one closes. Simple, but helpful to unplug from work quickly
This holiday season Twitter fires 4K workers, Amazon fires 10K workers, & Facebook fires 11K workers—all while US Billionaire pandemic wealth increased an absurd $1.7T.😳 A reminder that billionaires don’t create jobs—they exploit workers. Tax billionaires. Unionize workers.

apparently they didnt turn off 2-factor authentication but they DID turn off the service that sends you the 2-factor authentication code. so if you log out and try to log in with an authentication code you simply wont receive one. lol. lmao

Replying to @elonmusk and @sampullara
Part of today will be turning off the “microservices� bloatware. Less than 20% are actually needed for Twitter to work!

People are starting to say Elon Musk isn't actually a real engineer. But he definitely said "I don't know why people think Twitter is so complicated. I could fix it in like a weekend." And then proceeded to fuck everything up. That's exactly like an engineer.

The “Free� platform… Maybe for another $8, perhaps?

Whoops, Twitter won’t let me change my name back, so it looks like I’ll be Possibly Tim Sweeney forever! Anyway, for those taking a break from reading stories claiming the world’s burning, here’s a primary source article: theverge.com/2022/11/10/234
I’m sure that Jesus fore saw that two thousand years later people on a different, undiscovered continent would celebrate his co-opted birth that was moved to cover a pagan holiday by wasting electricity on powering pretty lights a full 1/6 of the year.

TBH, I hope Twitter’s imminent implosion leads to more blog posts and a really good RSS reader I’ve been waiting for a decade for.
