Just as a heads up you seem to be referring to a VERY specific thing here and might not be meaning to. “Inserting” someone into a hostile intelligence agency is known as a seeding operation and if you told me that they never were able to pu

In a similar fashion I was extremely impressed with how Dart approaches this as well and was able to move the entire ecosystem along in about 18 months. https://dart.dev/null-safety

They were describing a B2B company so I’m guessing that would be a firm no. My read was that they would rather do nothing with that budget than spend it on Twitter right now.

It seems quite a few of these decisions are starting to get made. Entirely predictable given what we have seen for the past 3 weeks. All signs point to the idea that this is only the beginning. Brands already were extremely on the fence whe

Why on earth would you say that someone is not worried about losing a $44 billion investment? That’s really not based on reality and the number of random changes they are currently pushing with zero strategic foresight makes it very clear t

I agree with the author, at the end of the day Twitter is not going to make it and it’s time to consider alternatives. They have in just 3 weeks: - Become one of the least desirable tech companies to work for. - Poisoned (probably beyond re
