Twitter engineer says company 'like a building where all the pieces are on fire'
- aquarium87 4y agoThese articles are fun. Just don't take them too serious. On the one hand, the place is on fire, on the other, some newb can do the job of 20 people. "Twitter's layoffs have resulted in an extensive reorganization of remaining workers, the engineer told the BBC. He said that one "totally new" staff member without expertise was now doing a job that used to be done by more than 20 people. The New York Times previously reported that some junior employees have been left in charge of areas they haven't worked on before."
- BeefWellington 4y agoI'd suggest if it's on fire it's not really a case that a "newb can do the job of 20 people." It's a bit like driving around on a donut; Sure you can do it but it's not stable, durable, or performant.

- abudabi123 4y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E3 Twitter's interim CEO has a track record pushing the pace of automation. He has the mindset for an ordinary person to operate a space capsule or ev car with advanced chips behind the scenes doing the automation. The following comment on his Twitter is more amusing than the one he made to an audience at E3 This is arguably the most mind-blowing thing about "reality" A practical limit to digits of pi is how many are needed to divide the universe into Planck voxels
