I hear noises of people making backup accounts at Mastadon but that’s just in case Twitter falls down.

Well, that didn't last long.

Echo chamber.

I suspect most of those folks secretly enjoy mixing it up.

Elon Musk poked fun at CBS for returning to Twitter after less than a 48-hour hiatus due to "uncertainty" with the platform under his management.

Two days after the major news network said it would suspend all Twitter usage, CBS announced that it will resume activity Sunday as it continues to monitor "security concerns" they have with the platform since the billionaire Tesla CEO took over the company.

"After pausing for much of the weekend to assess the security concerns, CBS News and Stations is resuming its activity on Twitter as we continue to monitor the situation," the CBS News Public Relations team wrote on Twitter.

I have observed over my career so far that most IT teams can get by with about 10% of the workforce, if needed.

Look at how Truth Social, Parler and their ilk have fared.

Maybe there's a connection between really bad at writing software and being right wing?

I'm not sure whether there is any meaningful correlation between political leanings and programmer ability, but I think the more important influence here is that if you are a good programmer, you would hesitate to work at places like Parler because it damages your career.

I can assure you that it is exactly the opposite.

No question

I have divorced my job duties as much as possible from writing good code. To this day I write zero unit tests and nobody complains about it. Win. Being a good programmer is utterly tedious.

The Trumpiest thing I've seen in a while. I wonder if it's real.
