A lot of negativity here towards Twitter and Elon.

If you still have a Twitter account don’t complain idiots

Actually maybe we can set up a blockchain for that!!!

It's the company’s policy. Love it or leave it.

I’m stunned they need more than 20 employees for what the site is.

It’s crazy. Especially this site, it’s a simple database of job postings. There are definitely people there who don’t do anything all day

That fine line of being willing to accept the loss of some. Where's the line between some and too many? Such are the games of capitalism.

This country is so fucked.

It starts making more sense when you realize the US is the third most populous country in the world and also far and away the richest country.

The SMS 2FA was an absolute scam. Use an authenticator app instead.

yeah you gotta remember, your health and well being is more important than their bottom line. When it’s lunchtime, you’re on lunch, you’re not helping the company with work. When it’s time to clock out, you don’t contemplate working overtime to finish projects, you clock out, go home, stop thinking about work, and leave it until tomorrow. Overtime pay is so heavily taxed anyway, it’s pretty much not worth it unless you’re hitting a certain threshold and stopping.

You aren’t their property, know your limits, and prioritize your life, time, and health first. When bosses start to realize employees post-pandemic care more about their time and health than their employers’ pockets and we won’t take their shit, they’ll eithe rhave to buckle, or learn to fully automate everytjing from the bottom up and eliminate the need for employees.

It looked very off, but in their defense the model did some really unnatural facial expressions.

Damn that is STUPID. If I still had a Twitter account I'd close it.

How do you know how to recreate some of the in person collaboration if you are not seeing it yourself?

I have a lot of engineers reporting up through me that started their academic, and now professional careers post-covid. We are all still "partially remote", and will be for the foreseeable future - we still try to come in on Wednesdays for those of us that enjoy interacting with another adult live and in person.

In summer 2021 I was in office looking at (blue) prints in a common area, everyone for the most part was still working from home, and I saw a feature callout that seemed way too bogus/weird to be coming from the lead design engineer, so right there I picked up the phone and conference-called the lead engineer and hashed it out - to the conclusion that yeah it is a weird way of controlling things, but its nuances actually work better than the alternatives.

It wasn't until a bit after hanging up and going on with my business, that I realized one of my fresh college grads was sitting in a cubicle just next to the area I was sitting in... and while he has never mentioned it, that was likely the very first time in his professional life that he heard two senior level engineers parse through a difference of opinions toward a successful conclusion.

I'm a Director now days, and I see the difference between "pre-covid" employees and "post-covid" employees grow every single day, and it concerns me - and not from an "I'm their boss" perspective, but rather, from the perspective someone that genuinely loves the art of engineering. I am very open with my team that what I want is to progress our craft, and that our company has already outlasted 3 generations of employees and will long outlast us - how how we move the field of engineering forward will last forever... Melodramatic, I know.

So much engineering, and just corporate live in general, is learned through osmosis. You learn how to lead by watching others lead. You learn how to navigate healthy conflict (which at the core is what engineering is - we progress our craft by being proven wrong) by watching others model the appropriate behavior live and in-person. When we first went home for Covid March 2020, I missed being able to just speak questions out loud to my cube mates so much that a few other engineers and I would call each other at ~8:30 in the morning and mute ourselves, and whenever one of us had a question we'd just unmute and ask, have a short discourse, and then back to mute and eventually end our ~8 hour phone call at the end of the work day.

I don't see our post-covid people having buddies like that anymore. My cross-functional peers and I are having to teach and mentor concepts that were never even topics of discussion pre-covid. These fresh engineers are so smart, but they are lost - like a baby animal without a parent to imprint.

It really should be seen as a money pit.

This Tiktok hearing was a total joke, these politicians had already made up their mind to ban tiktok and its done not for national security concerns but at the behest of American tech companies like Meta and Alphabet who are losing out in this short video format.. YouTube shorts may blow up once tiktok is banned, same on Instagram as well

So, I guess big time tiktok creators in US should think about moving to other platforms but I would there's any that's as engrossing and easy to use as Tiktok

Not managers, its the investors/board.

SMS 2FA is sub only. You can still use a Auth app and/or Security key 2FA.

The images are never what you want. Just like the text generated by chat gpt is often trite and useless.

gives me this vibe

If you guys don't want to return to the office then I'll be glad to take your job

Received an email that my 2FA was turned off. I thought someone hacked my account and when I went to change password and turn it back on was told 2FA was now a subscription service.

HAHAHAHAHA … go fuck yourself Elon. Enjoy the class-action lawsuit when someone’s account is hacked because you turned off 2FA.

>But most of these people work from home by choice.

That's a huge assumption and also completely irrelevant.

As someone who's experienced both, they're both equally but differently humiliating and depressing.
