The Economist always comes up with good tag lines for stories. In this case: Linda Yaccarino goes from X CEO to ex-CEO. https://www.economist.com/business/2025/07/09/linda-yaccarin...
Unfortunately the Economist has shifted from "center right" to "far right" over the past few years, along with a general decline in reporting quality.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
From what we gathered on the kitchen side he fired the most infrequent committers. Which statistically speaking would not affect the institutional knowledge much.
> From what we gathered on the kitchen side he fired the most infrequent committers. Which statistically speaking would not affect the institutional knowledge much. This take is, quite bluntly, stupid and clueless. Do you think each commit reflects the volume of institutional knowledge of any individual? Unbelievable.

The owner of Twitter sieg heiled twice in front of millions of viewers. There is no need for anybody else to prove anything.
Those attacks happened way before. If you don’t see that someone is trying to build a narrative here - I’m sorry for you.

Twitter's back-end is written in Scala, but they used "better Java" style so an average developer should have no problems making changes Anyway, what kind of features Twitter (or any social network for that matter) needs after it existed for so many years? Hacker News haven't changed a bit a it does what it does perfectly well
> Twitter's back-end is written in Scala, but they used "better Java" style so an average developer should have no problems making changes You sound like someone completely oblivious to software development practices who somehow felt compelled to post opinions on software engineering. Your choice of language is irrelevant if your goal is to maintain software. What matters is systems architecture and institutional kno…

BlueSky has not taken off because its the far left version of Twitter. If you stray even to the center you are doxxed and banned. They banned the sitting vice-president within a couple of hours of him joining.
The sitting vice president is a monarchist, not just a little right of center

reddit is like the most censored part of the internet at the moment.
Right, Reddit banned any sub that disagreed with the progressive positions on Transgender issues, any mainstream subs would ban users for disagreeing with those positions, and heterodox subs were warned not to discuss them or else they could be banned. For instance, here's the Moderate Politics sub discussion on why they banned transgender topics[1]: > The first of these banned topics: gender identity, the transgende…
Leftist subreddits also get banned for breaking site wide rules. The /r/chapotraphouse subreddit got banned in 2020, for example.
Reddit is best experienced in general by ignoring default subs and finding smaller ones that are relevant to your interests.
Moderating a large sub is hard. The scale is just too big, and it's individual volunteers doing it.

What are other memorable tag lines from them?
I don't read the Economist much but I was curious as I'm always down for punny headlines, found this collection: https://www.ironicsans.com/2007/06/the_best_and_worst_of_the...
I just want to get on the record and say that whoever in the paper argues for and writes the fun headlines is on the right side of history
Interesting nobody has mentioned Nikita. X has hired Nikita Bier, of Gas and tbh fame ( https://x.com/nikitabier ), as head of product some days ago. He posted a meme earlier today which may or may not be related to this.
I’m kind of fascinated by Nikita’s popularity. Normally if you told a tech community like Hacker News that someone marketed viral phone apps targeting teenagers, engineered app engagement mechanics targeting kids, and openly used every growth hacking trick in the book to manipulate App Store charts, it would seem like a checklist of things people get angry about here. Yet because he’s Twitter-famous and seems like a…
