Read Bryan Cantrill on how unimpressive Dorsey is to anyone with a clue: "I, like many people, have a complicated relationship with Twitter. As Adam and I regaled in a recent Twitter Space, it started when debugging the Twitter fail whale in the offices of Obvious in 2007, where I became thoroughly unimpressed with their self-important skipper, Jack Dorsey. In part because I thought he was such a fool, I refused to join Twitter out of principle." https://bcantrill.dtrace.org/2022/11/05/twitter-when-the-wall-came-down/ https://bcantrill.dtrace.org/2022/11/05/twitter-when-the-wal... It seems to me letting Dorsey speak and ridicule himself in front of an audience of technically savvy people would actually be the best way to discredit him.

That was more of a range rant on Musk than anything else. Which is far as long as it goes. I am surprised that such blog posts are done under the dtrace.org banner.

  As it is apparently unclear: dtrace.org is (just) a collection of personal blogs, including my own. More details on the history can be found in [0]. [0] https://bcantrill.dtrace.org/2024/11/16/blogging-through-the-decades/ https://bcantrill.dtrace.org/2024/11/16/blogging-through-the...

    Heh. I hosted on a Joyent OpenSolaris zone for a long time (before you joined) and, ahem, enjoyed a period of instability as that useless site (Twitter, not DTrace.org), also hosted on Joyent, took off and had scaling troubles causing noisy-neighbor syndrome, circa 2007–2008 or so.

    I was wondering about this when I read the blog post, so I checked out www.dtrace.org and from my point of view its ambiguous. The front page says: "DTrace is a performance analysis and troubleshooting tool that is included by default with various operating systems, including Solaris, Mac OS X and FreeBSD. A Linux port is in development." Then it lists blogs. ¹https://d.pr/i/3DAB5x https://d.pr/i/3DAB5x
