It's absolutely ridiculous that the firings were allegedly done using LOC. This is especially true when Twitter has certainly had performance reviews which could be used as much better firing criteria than freaking lines of code.
To all of you that think this is a fair way to fire engineers, please reconsider.
- gjsman-1000 4y agoIf your company is losing $4 million a day, and you want to fire a ton of people, and if LOC is even 75% accurate… In those circumstances, I do believe that it is a decent metric to consider. You got a better plan?
- dom96 4y agoYeah, what I outlined above: performance reviews. One possibility: just fire those that have had performance below a certain rating threshold.
- gjsman-1000 4y agoIf I am Elon, that would require that I think Twitter, and prior management, did objective and honest performance reviews. All the while knowing I’m taking over and everyone is trying to save each other’s skin. I don’t think so. The performance reviews are more than likely self-congratulating BS and to be ignored.
