Twitter C/D

cmon

can’t search it up easily on my phone but could you just intercept the phone client’s auth call to get the jwt refresh token and keep one active?

why yes I did have to implement several oauth flows against janky providers in multiple programming languages why do you ask

lord that sounds just awful why do we even need auth cant we just use the honor system

looks like something is rolling out today

Welp, that'll be the last thread that I send via my Last Tweet in AWS Twitter thread creator I suppose.

Such genius

perversely we probably do owe elon a gotta hand it to em for taking twitter from a place you’ll miss out on if you step away from it for a few hours to a boring ass website you can log off from for weeks without feeling you missed a thing https://t.co/y8T6fNIRXp

otm. "won't shut up but is also incredibly boring and unlikeable on a purely personal level" was one of my cons when i wrote down a list of pros/cons when i was deciding whether or not to quit.

It’s 100% true, I’m on there less than 40 minutes a day now. Hasn’t been that low in a decade.

lmao

I got an email that @year_progress has been suspended from Twitter API, and I have to re-sign-up. At least I know where I'm at. (There was no communication till now.)

My bot is eligible for the free tier, I think, but the sign up form doesn't work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm coming around to the idea that he was told to destroy Twitter by Thiel et al b/c it was too woke, the rest is just for show

People don’t become CEOs by treating staff well. What a weapon.

Yeah CEOs are like this person.

Not surprising to me, that clip

I don't find it surprising that CEOs think stuff like this, but you'd think some basic self-preservation instinct would inhibit them from saying it in public

Nah

In America if you are “successful” you’re allowed to be self important

over/under on how much longer she'll be at her job - I'd say a week?

an old boss of hers taught her that if you ever get to sit in that CEO chair, take the bonus every time, because the money doesn't remember if you earned it or not

Ghoulboss

Her instagram profile is "defender of equity and inclusion."

her CEO Pay Ratio (ratio of her salary to the median salary at herman miller) is 111:1, btw (her base salary is $5MM but the average employee at herman miller makes $45k)

I don't find it surprising that CEOs think stuff like this, but you'd think some basic self-preservation instinct would inhibit them from saying it in public

success is a hell of a drug

the way her energy level rises once she starts *really* thinking about how much she hates these ungrateful employees for choosing to live in Pity City

quit, quit, quit, quit, quit, quit, quit, quit!!!

ok everyone close your eyes, spin in a circle 10 times, then we'll count down from 3 and everyone say the word you're thinking of

....PAUSE!

oh fuck nm

I shouldn't have looked but fuck, all the quote tweets of that CBC tweet from blue tick grifters/tin foil hatters are depressing

Also I see we're past 15 April now and I can still vote in twitter polls.

For the coders on this thread, would it be fairly straightforward to limit voting to Blue subscribers only?

not if you fired all your programmers haha

serious answer is who knows depends on how the program is structured, guessing that the answer is no tho considering that twitter is a very complicated program and twitter blue is a new thing thats grafted onto it, also they fired all their programmers

probably yes, if there was functionality to limit who can vote on a poll cross referenced with some TwitterUser class

alas something we're seeing is that Elon's ideas are so dumb that the people who built the software would've never anticipated implementing them, so theoretically simple tasks require some extensive refactoring. this happens a lot with the software I work on, people come up with bad ideas that are "easy" but break the rules and we have to come back and say no, the system wasn't designed to work like this, we can't do it without a lot of work, and usually that's that. Elon of course doesn't take no for an answer.

depends if you want to ship it without introducing other bugs, or if you're ok with e.g. breaking all image links for users in europe and south america.

difficult to overstate the operational burden of shipping and observing new features in a system as complex as twitter. implementing the behavior is the easy part, relative to putting it in prod. which is why the changes he's made to the core timeline product have been incremental and have often been accompanied by downtime because shipping them broke something else.
