Twitter C/D

Following, posts from people i'm following in For You

Underrated Spacemen 3 album.

Love album track imo

Of course nu Twitter wouldn’t dare take a deepfake video of the president down but they will tack on a little contextual note at the bottom as they platform it.

its hard

"Musk fell into the classic self-taught coder trap of writing what developers call hairballs—big, monolithic hunks of code that could go berserk for mysterious reasons."

From Ashlee Vance's Musk bio, on the Zip2 days when Musk was doing hardcore coding.

TWITTER SAYS MADE AN INTERNAL CHANGE THAT HAD SOME UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES; WORKING ON THIS NOW AND WILL SHARE AN UPDATE WHEN IT’S FIXED

— *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) March 6, 2023

freestyling on prod like god intended

Yeah no external links working at all. Fun.

I logged out of the web client and got the same JSON error c&p'd above, now if I try to load the main page that's all that appears

LOL

what elon shouldve done was fire everyone except for the developers and then just let them go hog wild why not have a lil fun

API issue seems to be resolved, for now anyway. Who knows what's next? It's providing an added dose of daily chaos in our lives, it's good, it makes us adaptable. Elon doesn't want us to get stuck in our ruts, gotta shake things up.

there's this meme that twitter doesn't have a dev environment but ... it does. it's pretty easy to catch this class of configuration bug because all twitter employees on the internal network get the dev environment when they visit twitter.com. i'm guessing part of the the problem now is there are so few users outside pacific time, so they make a change in the middle of the night, don't get any complaints because there are no internal users in like tokyo or singapore any more, and think that means it's good to ship.

*it's pretty easy = it used to be pretty easy.

looks like tweetdeck is finally down for good.

takes skill to blow up the auth layer so badly you also make it impossible to load images from your CDN

Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

heh total rewrite should do the trick

“A small API change had massive ramifications,” Musk tweeted later in the day, after Twitter investor Marc Andreessen posted a screenshot showing that the company’s API failures were trending on the site. “The code stack is extremely brittle for no good reason. Will ultimately need a complete rewrite.”

NEW: Twitter went down today because its migration to a paid API has a single site reliability engineer attached to it. Here’s @ZoeSchiffer and me on the high price of cutting costs:https://t.co/yjAHeVkgYl pic.twitter.com/6QVURpHagc

total rewrite of one of the lowest latency and highest scale consumer tech stacks in human history, sure.

tbf they’ve made it a lot slower recently

there's more power in an office full of cell phones than the computing power it took to run all of twitter at one point. makes you think

good tip https://www.tiktok.com/@pearlmania500/video/7207941159811960106

Someone pointed out that the biggest difference between hiring now and when Circuit City went belly up is that most employers now run their past employment checks through Equifax instead of just calling references.

i follow this guy hes joking but a lot of people dont get it lol

It may surprise people to learn that I am a twitter employee, I make $156,000 a year and have literally done nothing. Check deposits in my bank account, no one seems to know what my job is or who my boss is.

Top of reddit. You *know* the manbaby has seen it and yet he is entirely too incompetent to actually fire me. pic.twitter.com/lhrEvpjHgP

^^ Suddenly picturing Big Head on Hooli's rooftop after he got bought out.

lol yea

My ‘For you’ feed is now just showing random accounts. There’s no indication of how they relate to anyone I follow. That’s entirely new since yesterday.

(Not like it’s all Elmo and catturd, it does seem vaguely relevant to my interests.)

so a week ago i applied for reinstatement using the guidance that other twitterer upthread suggested (saying "the libs tried to censor me!") and today they unbanned me.

lol

lol. now try getting off a parking ticket by flashing a badge you got out of a cereal box. at least you'll find out if the parking meter patroller or traffic court judge are smarter than Elon Musk.

i have no intention of tweeting again so i'm going to shitpost at Elon until i'm banned again

welp now i'm timed out for 12 hours. that was fast

hilariously, since it restored all of my previous tweets (from 2021 and earlier), it flagged one of my 2 year old tweets as offensive (which is the one that got me banned in the first place) and temp banned me for it...again.

good system you got there.

ha

I don't think I even have a 'for you' feed on my app? It's just 'Latest' or 'top tweets'. But I swear tweets are showing from people I've never followed, and not as 'promoted' or anything either.

prob just havent updated your app since they made the change

yep, I just started seeing a bunch of tweets popping up on both tabs from folks that I don't follow, aren't being retweeted or even liked by anyone I follow and aren't promoted (at least they aren't being tagged that way). not exclusively, but the vast majority are crypto related or accounts pushing OnlyFans content. cool app.

i can only assume foxeseveryhour has some dirt on Elon himself given how much prominence they have on my feed atm

justice served
