I was laid off from Twitter today. I was the designer in charge of our new rebranding to X. I learned so much in my 2.5 weeks at the company but I’m excited to see where I land next. If you’re hiring a self taught, junior designer please DM me. Graphic design is my passion!

This tweet, while an obvious joke, was stolen from a different account and edited slightly to appear as if it were the author’s own attempt at humor. The original poster directly addresses the act. twitter.com/anothercohen/s…

BREAKING: Because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account, here is Tribel’s official statement on Musk limiting how many tweets users can read per day. Tribel is a “woke” new Twitter competitor I created. Here’s Tribel’s statement: “Elon Musk proved once again today that he is totally out of his depth. He might be good at buying tech companies with inherited money, but he has no clue how to run a social network. In just seven months, he has single-handedly turned the internet’s premier intellectual app into a buggy, unrecognizable MAGA hellscape that tries to milk its users for every penny possible in a desperate attempt to turn a far-right billionaire’s vanity project profitable. Now, users have to pay Musk just read other’s Tweets. Even worse, even paying users are limited from reading other’s tweets. It’s no wonder that Tribel’s 5-star rated app is quickly positioning itself as the only viable Twitter competitor that can go blow-for-blow with Twitter. Thanks to Musk’s disastrous reign as Twitter owner, our user base is growing like wildfire — and even worse for Musk, our technology is improving by leaps and bounds with every passing day. Elon Musk better be ready for a dog-fight, because the entire world is looking for a new, viable, and better Twitter competitor — and Tribel is leading that charge.” Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Elon Musk is ruining Twitter — and click here to join Tribel: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

THREAD 1/7 Intel from a Ukrainian officer about a meeting in Putin’s lair in Urals. Oligarchs convened there so no one would flee. Putin is furious, he thought that the whole war would be easy and everything would be done in 1-4 days. @EPPGroup @general_ben @edwardlucas @politico

My team at Apple is looking for a backend Elixir programmer. The opportunity is contract-to-hire. We are working on APIs that will be used towards our goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. (apple.com/2030) A great opportunity to work on climate. DM if interested!

I often think about the “Read what you love until you love to read” comment from @naval , and this is a good generalization. My experience has been that it is easier to educate a Do-er than to motivate the educated; you have to believe you can Do before you embark on an effort.
Do what you love until you love to Do

If you can, build it. If you can’t build it, fund it. if you can’t fund it, champion it. If you won’t champion it, at least stay out of the way.

Something everyone can do that takes 30 seconds: Go to the App in the Storefront, flag as inappropriate. With enough submissions it should be automatically deactivated until reviewed internally (and ideally removed). On Google Play this option is found in the top-right.

My rule of thumb is that you’ll probably spend at least $1M to move to Kubernetes. That’s new ops hires, training, initial productivity loss, etc. If you don’t have a $1M problem that Kubernetes is solving then I don’t think you should even consider it.

"What we do in Discord would not be possible without Elixir. It wouldn’t be possible in Node or Python. We would not be able to build this with five engineers if it was a C++ codebase."
