AFAICT the problem is that Musk has no idea what normal people want or like about Twitter. It's like having a robot baking a cake.

I assume that by Hard Mode she meant "hard for an affluent Western democracy". I doubt she was pretending that working late is like getting shot at. Nothing personal to you, I'm an equal offender with this stuff, but this ki

That sounds really cool, you were basically (my translation) auto-creating sub-reddits based on the media people were consuming at the time? Sweet project.

I think he kind of covers that by having first pass estimates done by the TL and having a rubric for complexity. Granted that metrics are dangerous, this seemed like a reasonable stab at solving some of the problems (assuming it was done ca
