Musk ended a very public argument with nearly two dozen coders critical to the microblogging platform's stability by ordering them fired this week. Hundreds of engineers and other workers then quit after he demanded they pledge to "extremely hardcore" work by Thursday evening or resign with severance pay.
Earlier in the week, some got so angry at Musk's perceived recklessness that they took to Twitter to insult the Tesla and Space X CEO. "Kiss my ass, Elon," one engineer said, adding lipstick marks. She had been fired. Indicating how strapped he is for programmers, Musk sent all-hands emails Friday summoning "anyone who actually writes software" to his command perch on Twitter's 10th floor at 2 p.m. – asking that they fly into San Francisco if not local, said the employee who quit Thursday but was still receiving company emails.
Another said that if Twitter has been shutting servers and "high volume suddenly comes in, it might start crashing." And indeed, one microservice briefly broke – the one people use to verify their identity to Twitter via SMS message when they log in. It's called two-factor authentication.
I predict this story will disappear as fast as the Pelosi story did
Hahaha I think Musk has enough money that he can just hire more people…
Don’t need engineers that create algorithms to shadowban, downrank or silence voices
Dead weight, Twitter will be fine. Im sure its reasonable scalable if upgrades are required, and in sure the code base is reasonably stable as long as there is no serious current bugs. As long as they only do security updates, I don't think they will break anything.
100 engineers leaving while you need 10
For every entitled engineer that leaves...a dozen others are waiting in the wings. Facebook, AWS and other tech companies have let go tens of thousands of employees...seriously folks this is pure clickbait.
How many times does an organization have to get something completely wrong before it becomes a 'non news' organization?
Thanks to elonmusk, we now have free speech without all those employees monitoring/judging (and in some cases, banning) our posts! Twitter 2.0 will be great!
