I don't think so, considering how Twitter is somehow running better with 80 percent of personnel removed
You could be right, but it's not like a large software project instantly falls apart if people leave. It'll keep running for a while but cracks will start to develop and nobody will be around to patch them up.

I assume you are really talking about your current job at Twitter...

I believe you are getting downvoted (and now flagged and removed from the thread) for not substantiating your comment. HN does not seem to like single-line comments that do not provide info.
But I have to ask. Do you have any info or stats that shows that Twitter is really running better? By what metrics is it running better? Honest question.

#83Who needs a productivity blocker if you have Microsoft Windows?
Good news! Your computer is ready for Windows 11! And how about a nice game of Solitude Candy Smackers (TM)? Have you tried the new Microsoft Edge web browser? It's not a browser, it's a WOWser!

Honestly, I'm not even sure if this is a parody or not.

Looks like you didn't actually look at the link :)
> The greatest trick that javascript ever pulled was to convince the latest generation of programmers that it was fast... By the way, JavaScript IS quite fast. I ported some code from Swift to Typescript recently, and its runtime went down from 15 seconds to 2 seconds. It wasn't a 1-1 port because I improved things, so it is not a fair comparison, but I was very positively surprised.
Hmm, I think we found the reason....

#88Will it block Hacker News?, cause god knows this is a huge productivity block... like right now
Re: Productivity Blocker
#89I'm somewhat disappointed that there is no Firefox version. However, given that the author most likely uses his extension, I can see what might have happened.
I always thought firefox and chrome share a standard where you could build one extension and use them on both platforms?

#90We used to do this in the firewall at my first job. Every weekend the founder of the company would get drunk and login to servers and mess things up. So every weekend it was my job as the junior to go into our FreeBSD firewall and uncomment or update an ipfw line that blocked his IP-address.
Sure it wasn't a weird grazing ritual? A cron script would've replaced you doing that, more efficiently and reliably. When I did military service abroad, the new chefs rotating down was put on "sandwich alert" in which anyone on camp signal centers could call in the middle of the night, requesting a nice sandwich delivered. It was all fun and games, they were shortly let in on the thing and we all laughed at it after…
Honest question: how can you be 100% sure?
