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.

Sort of related to the post earlier about "engineers," is the observation that, despite all the doom and gloom from late last week, Twitter is still functioning exactly as it has in the past. At least for the end-user.
Some snarky comment was made about how it's working with more than 75% of the people gone, and how that should be applied to the US government.
As an aside, all the people complaining about how they're going to leave Twitter because of the new leadership and new rules...where are they going? Has anyone built a social network platform that comes even close to what Twitter is. 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?
Horace, Ax, Klaus - care to comment?

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.

That sucks. Misstep for Apple to be making those noises IMO.
In an unrelated note, Sam Harris’ Twitter account seems to be gone. Maybe just a glitch. He’s been asking “tough questions” similar to the Milo question.

Apple hates App Developers
Really Hates them
I have no idea why, the developers make them a fortune.
