Twitter employees take pride in being able to speak up to power, the same principle this platform was built on. 2 yrs ago, I openly criticized execs for their lack of diversity. Instead of firing me, they reached out directly and ran focus groups with women and folks of color.

It’s hard for people on the outside to appreciate how nonsensical this selective “policy” enforcement is. The team responsible for the serving of 10MM+ tweets / second for internal and user-facing use cases is down to like 2 people. Good luck shipping basically… anything?

And, for the any employees still at Twitter, don’t underestimate the power of a pocket veto. Sometimes it doesn’t work out, or you have to escalate and risk it back firing, but a good pocket veto is a tool to learn to wield well.

Losing the META team is a deep loss to the field. It is inexpressible. In awe of @ruchowdh @KLdivergence @binary_aaron @__lucab @ubiquity75 @if_peradejordi who are the most kind and grounded human beings I’ve ever met, even as the magnitude of their work impact is staggering.

Quitting Twitter Inc earlier this year is like graduating high school and feeling a bit sad but like, nostalgic, and then a few months later your high school explodes.

apropos of nothing: what's the highest-impact, lowest-lines-of-code change you've made? mine was either a one-line config change that increased stability of shuffle operations in spark for almost everyone using it for a while, or a three-line 🐍 metaclass that got called SO MUCH

please stop concern trolling about this. - stimulants affect people with adhd differently. “Casually tweaking” it is not - 41M scripts != 41M people - if everyone around you is on it, maybe examine yourself and see if you might actually have ADHD or get better friends
