This is a whole thread (not a single tweet). Unfortunately Elon Musk's Twitter no longer shows threads to logged out users. :( For convenience, I'll copy and paste the entire thread here: 1. i feel bittersweet sharing i’m leaving my job at meta in a few weeks. working in the react org at meta has been an honor. i am thankful to my past and present colleagues for taking me in, letting me make mistakes, helping me see…

The new React docs are without a doubt the best docs I have ever had the pleasure to read. Your blog posts on overreacted.io were a huge boon to me as a new front-end engineer and I've thoroughly enjoyed every talk I've seen you give (on YouTube). I took the JavaScript course you produced with Maggie Appleton, "Just JavaScript", and I now try to think about my mental models for everything I do, even beyond coding. I code in React every day and I'm having the time of my life, I just love it!

Best of luck to you in the future, Dan!

I just wanted to say thank you for all the great work you've done, and the absolute best of luck to you going forward! I have always enjoyed listening to your technical explanations and am very much looking forward to any possible YouTubes. Cheers!

Yeah, they got a bit better but still not remotely close to Svelte's.

"i feel bittersweet sharing i’m leaving my job at meta in a few weeks." I think if I made this type of announcement publicly, my company would ask me to leave immediately.

I would guess this is a well-coordinated (with mgmt/HR) leave, and he has probably already announced it internally. Not sure why any employer would be upset in that case.

Wrong guess. "Bittersweet" is a clear negative and ofc not well coordinated assessment of his off-boarding to a 300K audience. Or writing a farewell all in small caps. Life is too short to feel bitter.

Meta couldn't care less but all future employers or affiliates did notice this.

I always wonder how people such as Dan don't get tired / jaded / bored of working on the same thing for many years. I've noticed a trend in my life where I can't stay attached to a single project for too long and I lose interest. In a way, it's potentially made me a jack of all trades and a master of none but like, that sounds fun to me. I don't know how I'd be able to dedicate my life to something so much I'd be a m…

Thank you Dan! Your redux video tutorials on egghead.io convinced me to switch from Angular 1 to React 6 years ago. Thank you!
