I'm fairly sure thats a parody. Nothing in that person's profile indicates that they work at twitter.
- andrewfromx 4y agosure, but does any engineer that's been on both sides of work crazy and get amazing stuff done vs. cruise ship make 1 icon change a day get that sentiment? Surely there are some engineers at twitter getting re-energized because of the new direction? https://youtu.be/KX7tj3giizI?t=5096 https://youtu.be/KX7tj3giizI?t=5096 (link to all in pod where they talk about the 2001st engineer hire)
- SilverBirch 4y agoI really don't think you got the joke. Software development at a large company isn't a montage from the movie Hackers, you don't rewrite an entire direct messaging back-end in an evening. I'm sure there are people who believe it works like that, but those people are the butt of the joke. I mean we saw this with our own eyes with Twitter Blue checkmarks. A feature Elon Musk's new hardcore Twitter had to deliver in a weekend. What happened? A shitshow for 2 weeks that ended in Musk entirely rolling back the whole effort and completely re-evaluating the schedule.
