Well this is entertaining:https://nitter.it/mcmillen/status/1588604007030747136> Reportedly, Elon stack-ranked Twitter engineers by "lines of code written in the last year" and fired the bottom X%, which likely means he's gotten rid everyone who worked on particularly challenging things, like security, privacy, performance, & reliability.There is not enough 🍿 in the 🌏 for this. This means that :birdsite: let fired some of their most experienced engineers.#Elongate

@rysiek I wonder if that's accurate. I believe he was working with his #Tesla engineers to examine the code, they would probably know better that to adopt this strategy.

@realcaseyrollins for the sake of everyone using public roads anywhere near a Tesla car, I do hope your appraisal of how much pull Tesla engineers have with Musk is accurate!Personally, I doubt it though… :blobsweat:

@realcaseyrollins @rysiek they should know better, but would he listen to his staff?

@PierreM @rysiek That fact that he's complying with #WARN--when he failed to do so when laying off #Tesla workers in the past--does show that his counsel has some sway over him. His "war room" probably convinced him to try cozying up to left wing censorship activists and advertisers, but that obviously failed spectacularly.

Just a reminder, this is the same :birdsite: that runs 500k servers, 60% of them so outdated, that many are not even supported by the OS vendor anymore.Whose technical staff, every single one of them, has direct access to production environment. Because they develop on it. Because there is no testing/staging environment.All this coming from former CISO, Mudge:https://archive.org/download/whistleblower_disclosurehttps://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Testimony%20-%20Zatko%20-%202022-09-13.pdf

And if you don't want to read all ~200 pages of this, I don't blame you!I have, however, and noted out the most interesting stuff:https://rys.io/static/TwitterWhistleblowerRevelationsExcerpts.htmlOr nice version over at @tomasino's:https://wiki.tomasino.org/Twitter-Whistleblower-Revelations-excerptOr the raw Markdown:https://rys.io/static/TwitterWhistleblowerRevelationsExcerpts.md It's juicy!

The point is, if your infrastructure is basically constantly on fire and you are one bad deploy away from your whole service crashing and burning into oblivion, perhaps this is not the time to fire your most experienced technical staff.You know, just an idea. :blobcatthinksmart:

@rysiek Honestly, the most insane thing to come out recently is "stack ranking by lines of code".Like, what?Is this Microsoft in 1997?

@realcaseyrollins you sound confused, just because a lot of people don't trust Twitter doesn't make them all part of a leftist conspiracy. I also suspect you don't know what censorship is, and are afraid of getting into any of the nuances of what powers influence who gets to have their speech heard.No one is silencing musk-boy, he can say what he wants, he can even afford to put his shitposts on billboards. I just think he's a prick.

@realcaseyrollins if you're actually curious why people disagree with you, try looking into the "paradox of tolerance", that should clear things up.

@realcaseyrollins @rysiek I read he brought in Tesla engineers for a code audit despite many/most of them not having professional experience in the language of Twitter's codebase.

@realcaseyrollins @PierreM @rysiek I guess you haven't heard that there is a class action suit because he isn't following WARN. WARN requires 60-day warning. There haven't been any of that kind.

@arachnomyrmex @rysiek @jwcph it more applies to server code. server environments can be different in all kinds of surprising ways, so often testing on a local ngnix server on your mac doesn’t tell you accurately what will happen on the redhat apache. so staging, ideally, is a perfect clone of production- or if that’s not possible as close to a clone as you can get.in some setups, staging literally swaps places with production

@rysiek LoC is a stupid metric. Sometimes to solve a problem it takes more time to understand what is problem, and what is causing it, and debate the best way to solve it, and test the different possible solutions until you find one that solves it in a satisfactory way, than to write the actual code that solves it.

@realcaseyrollins @unlofl I'm not sure where in those images you think Musk was appeasing the left.If you think it's inviting victims of harrasment in the same sentence he is inviting trolls in to help moderate, well that is not what he was doing.Yes, I'm characterising people Musk thinks of as free speech advocates as trolls, but that is going to be a common interpretation.
