About time!
The era of inflated salaries in tech jobs and unjustified promotion is coming to an end
This led to a drastic downgrade everywhere in the west, wich helped foreign actors emerge, not grow, but occupy a voided place
Bloat-driven engineers, promoted to do more bloat
And executives and managers never held responsible for their poor performance
This reminds me of how dotnet "engineers" wanted to solve the "single-file" deployment issue for C# applications
Many advocated for static compilation, like Go, but "management" said they were trolls and instead went with "Zip/Unzip the runtime, at runtime".. wich, you probably guessed, was killed few years later
Is that what you expect from a trillion dollar company?
Twitter/Vine <-> TikTok
dotnet <-> Go
That's what i mean by: "This led to a drastic downgrade everywhere in the west, wich helped foreign actors emerge, not grow, but occupy a voided place"
Thankfully, a few dedicated engineers at Microsoft pushed for NativeAOT, and they delivered, better, approved by their rival: https://twitter.com/plantpowerjames/status/1592798486260756483 https://twitter.com/plantpowerjames/status/15927984862607564...
Speaking of Twitter, i think it'll never manage to compete with YouTube/TikTok, but it'll for sure be a great testbed for propaganda or experiment with the digital ID and digital payment with digital currencies
Exciting times
- sschueller 4y agoI highly doubt that the firing at Twitter was in any way precise enough to keep the good and get rid of the bad. IMO the "overpaid incompetent managers" are all still there and any actual qualified person has been fired, left or will leave soon.
