Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter

[89th]

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?

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.

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

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.

That’s not the reason. He just didn’t like the way Twitter and its negativity was affecting his perception of people.
