This is awesome work! Is there a way to get the entire deck when you land on a slide through search?

Maybe if DoJ has some spare time they and the FBI could look into the very real crimes and corruption evidenced on the Hunter Biden laptop—in evidence since 2019 and nothing done.

Good point, that. Funny how free speech is said to matter so much now because that some liberals have been treated like they treated masses of conservatives.

Highly recommend the post and video mentioned above! The SaaS application shown in the video is non-trivial and appears to be very well done using htmx. Worth a close study https://htmx.org/essays/a-real-world-react-to-htmx-port/

This is such sage advice! Pick the hard UI/UX bits and prototype to de-risk and see how it feels once it’s working. Bravo Quekid5!

As for htmx, my team and I have been very happy with a Go + Fiber backend with Go templates and some htmx and Alpinejs for the more heavily interactive parts of a moderately complex application. Not having to deal with NodeJS, React, thousands of JS packages and overly complex configurations has been a blessing. Our system is insanely fast, plays nice with browser history, and is super cache friendly.

We make “component”-like parts such as toolbars, footers, menus, data tables, etc. with Go templates (partials called by a main template) with appropriate htmx. (Edit: we use/love Bulma for CSS.) High degree of reuse, great performance, and low complexity.

Plus, how many children and adults have been killed by drugs flowing over a totally wide open border? Data: https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/deaths/index.html

amen! (commenting on sharks and shows about sharks must be racist too)

Well to be fair the prior management team (and board) sucked. Stock was trash, company was bleeding money, and being insanely biased in their content moderation, etc. Elon is a systems thinker and problem solver. He didn’t know rockets before SpaceX nor cars/batteries before Tesla and those ventures, including their associated challenges and failures, have done pretty well. Time will tell.

They've got NYC Mayor Eric Adams to speak on visionary leadership. lolz

I hope this is an operation to arrest the #$%#$% SBF and bring him to justice for the scorched earth he caused. What possible benefit could SBF bring to the NYT event--how to blow up millions of people's finances while you rob the company blind? Well SBF's financial insights _would_ go well with a Yellen's "transitory inflation" disaster. Just sayin.

Vox is gaslighting! Hard data says otherwise.

Of course they are. SBF was the second largest Democratic donor and the NYT is the Democratic Party mouthpiece. All the News That Fits the Narrative.

Imagine the NYT firestorm if SBF was a massive donor for the Republican side.

SBF is fully corrupt. NYT is largely corrupt.

Wow what kind of crappy systems did pre-Musk Twitter “engineers” build? The system should degrade, as the article describes, without the engineers constantly pouring baby unicorn tears on the servers to keep them happy. Sounds like some of the fired engineers needed to be fired.

SBF is a total criminal and should be arrested for fraud, lying, and for using client funds for FTX's own trades (per Dow Jones Wire; seen on Bloomberg).

Free speech for ONE side of the political spectrum. So glad Elon fired the horrible leadership team. They have not innovated in a long time, the stock was a massive under-performer (until the takeover arbitrage trade), and the platform had been decidedly biased.

Yet more big tech over reach. Screw PayPal. Just killed my account. They are dead to me.

Hey while we’re at it here, anyone hear about Jack’s new thing? BlueSky Social [0] which will use something called authenticated transfer protocol (AT Protocol) to create a distributed “Twitter killer” decentralized social media network [1]. Seems interesting in principle.

… Zuck and the vastly bigger toxic disaster that is FB? He’s very rich and largely controls FB.

Those are really good points. So let’s make a country team: brand, localization/UX, marketing & sales, talent/HR, a few managers - say 50 staff. Twitter careers list some 23 counties (28 cities). Let’s round up to 50 so that’s 50 locations * 50 staff = 2500. (No way it’s this richly staffed in each city).

Plus the 500 for engineering, DevOps, security and another 1000 for managers, PMs and all the other supporting/corporate roles. Grand total: 4500.

Current staffing of ~7500 still seems partly unexplainable to me, for what the product is.

Hey Germany remember that fantastic natural gas deal you did with Russia? How’s that going?

I’m wondering what the heck 7500 people at Twitter actually do. Ok so a few hundred for engineering and DevOps. Their financial performance has been relatively poor prior to the Elon takeover saga. They don’t make their own hardware like Google and FB do. They don’t make consumer HW. They run a giant message queue with some ads. 7,500 people is way too many.

Anyone else have insights to share? What would you do to learn more about an IP addr, URL, etc.? Thank you.

Hey Bill and other elites - does this mean no more 20,000 square foot homes and private jets?

"Solid companies" ... Palanir stock is down ~60% for the year. lolz

Links are broken.

Twitter bans people they disagree with politically. Full stop. It's not about trying to protect people or police the community or other BS. People Twitter does not object to can say nearly anything on the platform. Saudi gov. Chinese gov. Russian gov. And many others spewing hate, division, and violence, etc. We all see it.

This site is so full of ads it’s totally shit to read. Wow.

My team and I have built many dozen services using Go and Fiber (fiber.io) and have been insanely pleased with the experience and the performance of the code. We have quickly onboarded new devs and got them productive very quickly thanks to the relative simplicity of the language, amazing documentation and strong start of tools. We are writing most of our components, APIs and tools in Go. Go for it!

Fantastic thread. Love the simple explanation of the 6-page memo process and the Amazon writing rules.
