I gotta feeling that software types will love this piece in MIT’s Technology Review, about how Musk cucked himself by sacking all those engineers at Twitter.
He probably had a big Doobie smouldering away in the corner of his mouth, too.
Dystopia seems to be the latest fad at the moment, the Eton brigade in Downing Street can crash the UK economy in less time than it takes to finish a test match.
It's kind of amazing just how much manual intervention the site seems to require. All that AI and advertising must need a lot of (creaky) code. Remember, at the point where Zuckerberg bought WhatsApp, it had twelve engineers, supporting a billion (or was it only 500k at that point?) users on a single server. Kind of hard to imagine that expanding to multiple thousands (in all dimensions) but I guess that you have to introduce the bugs somehow.
It's pretty normal for a codebase to age out as more and more changes are made. It needs to be refactored/re-engineered from the ground up again. Otherwise your playing Sisyphus.
As many problems as I've got with Microsoft they've (mostly?) succesfully done that with most of their products over the decades.
I'm guessing Musks genius never included asking anyone who had a clue about actual software though.
Has Mr Musk released the code as he promised he would?
I believe Mr. musk is currently high on bathtub crank and standing naked in a corner save for the feather duster sticking out of his date hole

War Wraith tweeted a pic of the Joker's money-burning scene with Enol's face. I snorted my tea.

But it’s still only social media, it’s not like it’s real or anything.
But where am I going to get my naughty dog security cam video, Parto? Well? Did you think about that?
Don't you live in a naughty dog world? Just open your eyes or film it yourself.
I’m having a test drive of Mastodon.
Another learning curve to get in the way of “productivity”.
No dog cam found yet.
& I’d bet there’s a Reddit to suit that demographic.
