Ricofoley Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Also, they just added total number of views to the stats at the bottom of tweets, I'm assuming as some kind of half-baked attempt to convince advertisers that they're not losing engagement, and they put first in the row, so the reply button is now shifted over from where it was. If you click where you're used to clicking you get a pop up that just says "Views: Times this tweet was seen." Another triumph for Elon.

He doesn't seem to get that the "software and the servers" aren't twitter's product. His fractal of "rube goldberg machines" comment is kind of one of those outsider layman takes on being told about the web of system dependencies that make up practically any commercial IT setup in any medium to large organization. He's this rich airhead who's decided to roll up his sleeves and get in the trenches with the engineers despite not really knowing anything about what they do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As part of his initiative to streamline the back end of the platform, Elon Musk reportedly demanded Tuesday that the remaining Twitter servers explain to him in detail what all the wires were for. “These ones here—what do they do, exactly?” the company’s new owner and CEO said during a visit to Twitter’s data center, holding up a tangled clump of blue wires and showing them to a row of machines, which he accused of “taking up an inordinate amount of space without contributing anything to user experience.” “Hello? I want an explanation for what you’ve all been doing down here on company time, and if you can’t give me one in the next five minutes, you’ll all be let go. For instance, what does this red thing do? Is this where we keep the internet? Make this smaller and faster immediately. And let’s start charging users for whatever is inside these cords.” At press time, sources confirmed Musk had publicly fired a prominent CPU for loudly humming in a way that he said constituted insubordination.

He'd get tackled by security if he actually tried to touch anything in an actual AWS datacenter. Twitter, as far as I'm aware, runs fully on an AWS backend. That is, Twitter isn't renting out datacenter space from Amazon, they're fully utilizing the platform. I know for sure that's how they keep themselves online from DDoS attacks. Musk reminds me of a conversation I was having with a very confused former colleague. He had asked me where the files for this share I had setup were being stored. I respond, it's in Azure Gov. He's like, yeah, but what's the name of the server it's on? He didn't seem to appreciate me saying "No idea, it's probably some serial number that only makes sense to some engineer in like Virginia or something."

To be fair based solely on what you've related in this post, I'd assume your former colleague meant something like, what's the sever name I need to put in to do an smb connection into this remote drive?

He was very confused when I gave him something that looked this this yourstuff-dayonepatch.blob.core.azure.gov as opposed to like dayonepatch.com\yourstuff. It took a while to explain that Microsoft doesn't just give me a server and there's no actual server and it's just a part of the cloud without also sounding like an asshole. Like I said, very confused colleague, but at least he was asking questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
