men say they're fighting demons but the demons be bisexuality *insert that pic of rin okumura looking at ryuuji suguro for the first time*

GODDAMMIT STOP TAGGING YOUR POSTS EXPLAINING WHAT GONCHAROV IS "UNREALITY". HOW IS ANYONE WHO BLACKLISTED THE TAG SUPPOSED TO SEE THE EXPLANATION DUMBASS.

@6uzz you are a genius with too much common sense for this site

Welcoming the folk fleeing twitter:

The person up there (@sachee) is the _CURRENT_ tech lead of Twitter's core API team. Like, I can't think on a more influential or important position you could be if you are a developer. Her pinned tweet:

It's beyond amazing how openly hostile the Twitter folks are toward Musk. Now, Musk has been shitting on their work for months, and he didn't even stop once he became his boss, so I can understand the feeling.

What I can't understand at all is how he doesn't realize how bad for the product he has just bought is to have core engineering employees up in arms against him. Unless he really don't care if twitter just burn down.

More, just from today:

This pretty much means that no dev can 'finish' any work they are doing and launch it. Which is not super unusual, every company has some of those from time to time.

What's NOT FUCKING NORMAL IS ENGINEERS NOT KNOWING WHY THEY ARE IN A CODE FREEZE. What the fuck, I can't even start picturing THE CHAOS they are living through.

I feel so bad for the Infra/SRE people at Twitter…assuming any are left.

As for Sasha, she’s only of the worlds leading experts on GraphQL. She literally sits on the projects governing board, and the technical steering committee.

This isn’t just some engineer calling out Elon as an idiot. It’s more akin to Stephan Hawking calling a random Physics 101 professor an idiot. It’s that level of a smack down. She’s fucking badass.

Oh woah, very important context about who @sachee is (I'm just a humble JavaScript guy, I didn't know she was such a big fish). And... Yeah, as other notes have pointed out, she has been fired already:

And don't get me wrong, she totally looked for it: if you post, publicly, that your boss can kiss you ass... Well, you know what you are up to. Same for the android guy they fired yesterday.

What's incredible is the Musk has managed to have so many engineers in open rebellion, almost looking to be fired. See, engineers are usually a quiet folk. As a group, we usually don't steer the pot too much: we are the folks who earn crazy amounts of money for a job we usually enjoy, so, sadly, we tend to put up with any kind in bullshit in silence. I have seen entire engineering organizations melt away several times, and there is always the kind of comments we are seeing on Twitter... in private. In DMs, or private channels, or small group watercooler conversations. But even if you are 100% sure you want out, you don't want to openly fight management: you want to find another job that's cozy and interesting before leaving, and even when you do, the tech world is kind of small, it's in your own interest to leave without leaving any beef behind, just in case you meet the same people again in the future.

The fact that so many engineers, high profile ones even, are dissing management at this level means that they not only want out, but they want out ASAP and they are expecting for the company to really meltdown so their own leave ends being just an anecdote in the overall Pompeii-like story of The End Of Twitter.

In any other week, someone like @sachee leaving Twitter like this would be the biggest and sauciest news of the development scene for weeks. Now? It will probably be forgotten by the end of the day, buried under who knows what.

When this happened I saw people dump on sachee for getting fired and imply she'll have trouble finding a job. Which is REAL funny after reading this post.

The funniest part is that even today Musk-stans are on Twitter saying things like "now Elon can bring the best people to work here", and it's like... Oh boy, I have some news for you about who he has been firing lately 😂

people on twitter are like "lmao i bet tumblr users are so mad about 'twitter refugees' i saw someone saying its gentrification" while tumblr users are collectively writing something i can only describe as an epistolary screenplay

entranced recently not by “i can fix him” or “i can make him worse” but the “something deeply wrong with him and i want to be around as like a spectator when the car crash inevitably happens” dynamic

Hope people who know nothing about death note understand the human boy is the deeply unhinged one in this duo.

Hey people coming here from Twitter or tiktok?

Tagging your posts with unrelated trending tags doesn't "manipulate the algorithm" or whatever the fuck you do it for

It just clogs the tag with posts people don't care about and pisses them the fuck off

Tagging trending tags onto unrelated posts isn't something we do here and is actually against Tumblr etiquette

So for the love of Christ knock it the fuck off

We have a barely functioning search function. Don't fuck it up more

If you spam tags im reporting you
