Keep in mind that Twitter engineers are under extreme pressure, knowing that their H1B visas are at stake, to implement Elon’s whims as quickly as possible on systems they’re unfamiliar with. I doubt many of us would perform better in their situation.

Do you know how many current Twitter engineers are on H1B? Is this based on some data, or just speculation?

You can access H1B job titles and salaries. It's public.

Around 300. https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7z5px/twitter-employees-on-...

That's all employees, not just engineers.

I would imagine the vast majority of those are engineers. It’s pretty hard to get an H1B in a non technical field and I’m not sure Twitter would even have many of those types of jobs.

One weekend Russia attacks Russia, next weekend Twitter attacks Twitter.

Don't forget when Reddit attacked Reddit two weeks ago.

Everyone else is going to do the same.

They're only holding out because they still believe the Fed will cut rates and they can borrow some more cheap money to keep the gravytrain going.

Hanlon, is that you? Reminds me of the joke: Pavlov was sitting at the bar when the last order bell rang. "Oh shit", he thought, "I forgot to feed the dogs".

Conditioning works both ways!

My cat nods in agreement.

He’s the richest man in the world, and a bully narcissist who punches down as a hobby. He’s not the unpopular ugly kid, he’s the one who attacks those kinds of kids. And he certainly doesn’t need you to defend him.

Meanwhile, I can see this very Mastadon post with no login just fine. And the interface is not trying to assault me. It loads quick. ...Seems like a better product than Twitter for a public feed.

I'm sure the loads are not comparable.

Equally, neither is the budget. Load isn't an excuse.
