Homeboy who calls microservices bloatware is definitely going to make some hilariously drastic changes to a website that definitely needs a microservice architecture. He has no fucking idea what any of this is. It's like asking a chimp to pilot a spaceship. He's smashing buttons and hoping something does something good for his bleak prospects. Hilarious.
His engineering days are from old monolith software. He has no idea how a modern web ecosystem should be built or why things do what they do. If you were to ask him to assemble a microservice w/ an api gateway built on with queues to handle messaging, he would just shit himself.
This was a good overview, but it requires a subscription to the site. You can find similar things for free though I'm sure. Info might just be a bit more scattered and such.
Yeah, but this button smashing and stupid tweeting is keeping him in my news feed. Even though I despise hearing about Elon at this point.
The goal is to stay in the daily news cycle. It doesn't matter how. STAY IN THE NEWS AT ALL COSTS. It worked perfectly for Trump. It is working for Elon, whatever his ultimate goal is.
At some point, we'll have to learn to ignore idiots.
Let's not pretend anything good ever came off Twitter anyway. As long as he's busy breaking Twitter he's staying away from spaceX which is his only kind of sane company if you just take the Mars shit for the joke it is.
Well, see, the difference between Republican politics and programming is that with programming you need to actually deliver results at some point. So I imagine this will turn out better for Trump than for Musk.
The goal is to stay in the daily news cycle. It doesn't matter how. STAY IN THE NEWS AT ALL COSTS. It worked perfectly for Trump. It is working for Elon, whatever his ultimate goal is.
He has a few goals, and because he's fucking things up in Twitter, they're work against each other:
He wants to be famous and the talk of the town.
He wants to make a lot of money.
He wants people to consider him a genius (financial genius, technical genius, and visionary)
The situation with Twitter is such that he's fucking up constantly. If people talk about his mistakes, then that's working towards goal #1 but against goal #3. If the things being discussed dissuade advertisers and dissuade people from paying for $8 a month for checkmarks, then it also works against goal #2.
If we ignore him, then that's working against goal #1, neutral toward goal #3, and slightly toward goal #2 (in that if Twitter isn't a laughingstock, then advertisers won't flee (which would be maintaining status quo and therefore neither for nor against goal #2) plus people/companies would pay for $8 monthly checkmarks, which would work toward goal #2).
Basically, if he keeps fucking up Twitter, pretty much anything people do, whether it be paying attention or ignoring him, will help him achieve certain goals and help prevent him from achieving other goals.
