Sudden vacuum of a central authority in Iran can result in seriously messed up situation. I very much hope that there is a peaceful transition of government rather than a sudden vacuum.

Could you elaborate more on how is this related?

Fish is a shell, warp is a terminal emulator. So even if someone uses fish they still need a terminal emulator; e.g. iTerm2 or Terminal.app. Am I missing something?

Can someone with more literacy explain what is the impact of this on an average Joe?

A good, but small step forward.

Generally speaking for this to have any meaning and takes any effect, being the morality police must become punishable by law. Aka, harassing people for their clothing should become an offence that a judge should rule about.

I read about the government structure and all the parallel forces exist in Iran and I doubt officially abolishing the morality police is going to abolish systematic harassment of people in the street by Basij or other organised/semi organised forces.

I did. Interview for AWS principal engineer position and their screening call had a 20 minutes make a code like structure to solve this problem. They did not ask me to write Java or anything compiled but something that shows I can actually turn my idea into some for of code. I think having such kind of question is very much expected and I would wonder if a company does not have it for external/unknown hires.

Yep, this is indeed a good series to read. When I read that it felt as close to a reality of the outcome as it can get.

What if all the investments going into building killing machine was directed toward human causes!

Anyone else has a link to this public information?

Is this a joke to him to play with people's mental health? How can people fly or commute or travel to SF on short notice. People have families, kids, personal commitment and lives out of the show he is running.

Even if someone is the most brilliant engineer with the best solution to requirements it does not necessarily means they have 10k lines of code solving hard leetcode to please him.

I feel for everyone living through these hard times.

This is an excellent list of some shit that can go wrong in any big IT department or company.

What is this about @OP, some background info.

It depends! If there are perks and special rules and so on that applies to different levels/types of staff at twitter it wont be that easy to migrate to an external provider (that is if they are running payroll internally).

Is there any way to get in touch with you and ask a few questions?

What is the ballpark of corporate employees count?

Is that "doubled its work force" for the corporate roles or entire amazon?

If/when this cascades to Binance we can it will be a big big setback for crypto and probably slows down adoption of decentralised currencies by decades.

Anyone turned this entire resource into an offline access? :D

Who is next?

I thought Binance books are so complex and convoluted that nobody can can figure them out. If that is really the case and this picks up they may go where FTX went.

He is just trying to stress the folks let at Twitter even more. Such an unethical move to have an entire company constantly hang in the purgatory of having a job next month or not.

Has anyone used this application/service?

I am wondering when will Amazon start the layoff process or that their practices are more economical and that they wont go this direction.

Link to the leaked list?

I can see more and more outlets and twitter-informed folks are mentioning that this is happening (according to their sources inside twitter).

I hope the people impacted at least get a proper severance package after going through the hard time in the past couple of months.
