Seems like Zuckerberg had already made up his mind and needed an engineer to positively confirm his desired path through a very power imbalanced chat... No shade towards the engineer at all, but besides the very first "My instinct is” comment the engineer literally could have just been ChatGPT and Zuck would have gotten a similar convo.

if this cartoon [1] is a reliable source, then maybe it's not (or possibly didn't used to be) such a strange thing at facebook [1] https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

I dont think one could reason that. Maybe some insight: The author is an engineer and had worked at Google and published the Goomics strip internally. It is also available at https://goomics.net/62

PS: Later he worked at Twitter and commented that also: https://twittoons.com/

This should be the URL in the post, Twitter requires a login, Bluesky doesn't.

I dislike twitter just as much as the next guy, but i was able to read the conversation without logging in. EU exit point here. Maybe that plays a role? having to click through each single image is quiet the turn-off though. not missing the platform

I want to reward people for posting on Bluesky instead. If they get more engagement on Bluesky, it'll motivate them to move.

I prefer the Nitter mirror https://xcancel.com/TechEmails/status/1888313183024074910#m

Why support a workaround-hack for a dying platform instead of a well working alternative that many shift towards already?

Because some people don't agree with your biased characterization.

The workaround service is called "xcancel.com", I think the characterization is there already.

[Discussing Instagram prior to Facebook acquisition.]

"Mark: Hmm. Engagement metrics?

Engineer: 23 mins daily per user. Teens. 94% return weekly. But here's the kicker: Their EXIF scraper tags locations silently. Imagine layering that with FB's graph. Hyper-local ads without asking.

Mark: Go on.

Engineer: They're a Trojan horse."

I prefer the nitter.net instance, it doesn't have any JS-only captchas.

From the EU here, I had to login to read everything.
