@@damiengitt sorry to jump in the conversation really quick, I’m just sort of confused on what word you are referencing to and what it has to do with euro’s post/comment. Please clarify.
To Riri, I know what you mean, by being suspended by twitter for not using it for enough time. I’m unable to get help to reset my password because I forgot what it was and it keeps saying that I have an account but it doesn’t let me login to that account. Like I actually don’t understand how it can be receiving likes and comments and followers, but I cannot change my password because I forgot it. Do you know an easier way to do it besides using Facebook? I think that was the issue that I linked them and then I stopped using my Facebook account, that is still active too.
His recent tweet trying to tell advertisers that Twitter is the appropriate place to spend their ad revenue is hysterical! He is completely unaware of his behavior and the ramifications.
Yep it’s times up for that space cadet of a boss to ‘smell the coffee’ but he might not understand the reference anyway. In my opinion, he needs to just sell it to someone else who actually cares about the business.
@@fishercourt twitter is now filled with debt, selling it would realize a massive loss. I pray that it might only take a decade until elon is no longer relevant or that something lulzy happens like a public meltdown and suicide.
Seriously, I love your content Zoe but most of ur female correspondences just hv this snobbing accent, I mean I don't have anything against them and they're extremely knowledgeable in their area but why the accent? Sometimes I can't finish the content just because of the accent and it's frustrating

In tech management and VC circles most people think Elon's Twitter cuts were a stroke of genius that will be replicated all over the technology industry. Amazon, Google and others are already following suit.
Amazon, Google and others still employ more people than they did at the start of 2020, even after massive layoffs. Meanwhile, Twitter went from circa 7500 to 1300 (and will likely continue to shrink). The two are not comparable in any way. At least unless they lay off more than 80% percent of their workforce, I'd absolutely LOVE to see them try that.
@@niedas3426 The activist shareholders behind most of these tech companies want them to fire more. In some cases management is fighting them on it. Essentially, Twitter proved that tech companies can function on a skeleton crew. The software engineering job market will never recover from this. All the redundancies and waste are being exposed.
Having monitored my port_folio performance which has made a jaw dropping $370k from two quarters alone, I've understood why experienced investors make enormous returns from the market
Just because 6000 employees were fired doesn't mean all the work they did will suddenly disappear but eventually it will become a broken untrustworthy site like a collapsing civilization from the past where urban inhabitants run away or run out of their cities.
We know the cuts have impacted the design team since Elon yeeted a disabled person who was on a “do not fire” list in part because to do so would cost the firm millions
Exactly. Practically everyone who matters in the VC tech space sees Elon as a genius for pulling this off. It's inspiring workforce reductions all over silicon valley.
As someone who didn't get a degree in computer science, do you guys and gals think tech is still worth pursuing? I recently started getting heavy into coding and was considering a bootcamp. what do y'all think?
Go for it, work in a big organization for a few years, and then start your tech business. Tech jobs pay you well but it's like living in a drama school full of boot-licking, politics, and no life
Allowing all speech is better than censorship… no one is forcing anyone to follow Twitter users using hate speech… no one is being forced to use Twitter… it’s a choice…
if most countries are banning tik-tok then there are two option for people create a new social media platform for everyone or goback to using twitter or old social media platforms that no one trusts too. ?
As Alexa said at 2.00, to keep the company running you need 25% crew. The east days for tech workers is over. I think he will orchestrate a revamp of Twitter, make it profitable and then float it back onto the market or sell it. I say he makes a few more billions from this deal.
its shocking that a Big Tech established company like Twitter has to rely on Slack i.e. informal conversations - as a knowledge repository. Literally amateur.
Working at a big tech right now, and slack is where we have conversations with teams, where people ask each other questions. It’s super easy to CTRL+F and find errors that others have encountered before, and posted on slack, as well as certain key words where you can look up and find past conversations which can point you to the right direction.
I’m sure they have actual documentation as well as something like a wiki site, but things are constantly evolving and it’s hard to keep pace. Informal conversations can be useful.
I do think that in our society right now, mostly everyone wants to be lazy and still earn a lot of money. I would love to see the day that Insta and Twitter gets canned and all of those bottom feeders that are so called insta influencers would have to like go out and get a real job. That would be a good sociological test for this planet. To see how long people would make it on their own!
You’re not a software engineer nor have an understanding how companies and projects are structured. You have no grounds to state someone as being a “waste” without having actual experience/knowledge in the field.
You also prove my argument that youtube comments shouldn't always be taken seriously because a lot of times the person writing them is a complete retard
@@user-jo1zj1vg4v It doesn't matter, he is right. Most of the big tech shareholders are pressuring management to make massive Elon style cuts. Everyone agrees that the software engineers are overpaid and redundant.
@@sigerian1085 elon style cuts? Guess we identified the Elon fangirl. You definitely have no idea what you’re talking about. Layoffs have occurred well before Elon implemented them. Most companies over hired during the pandemic so layoff’s are the result of correcting needless over hiring. No sane company will implement “elon style” cuts because it would lead to product/feature stagnation and service blackouts/bugs. The only reason why he implementing drastic layoffs is because advertisers are leaving Twitter and combined with twitter not making a lot money at the moment to justify the billions he spent on it. He’s just try to recoup his money given that he was forced into purchasing it after a failed back-out.
I'm a Twitter developer that got layed off. When they told me to pack up my belongings, I intentionally deleted a bunch of Twitter's code resulting in the glitches. Take that Elon musk
I left Twitter right before the 2020 election and just recently came back. I find the leftist hate and vitriol is even worse than it was then, I probably won't stay for long.

Elon's saving more money by shutting down their dev and test environments.
lolol

Thank you for triggering the A word
Twitter had always had glitches pre Elon.
Even empires can thrive on the backa of slaves. When the leadership talk about, resilience of the company. I wonder, what the company is made of??
🤣i hardly use my twitter account, if they delete it, i'm good w/ that honestly.
We can expect twitter to go the way of myspace if Musk doesn't deliver... for which he'll probably need to hire some talent lol

im surprised anyone still wants to work at twitter at all. Oh wait, H1B visa holders... Poor people
Or if they have any divisions that are based entirely off India. Tech loves to hire Indian workers because it’s cheaper labor. :(
Wow. That was informative! Great job!
So the center argument on your hit piece is company Slack went down; really? Why wouldn't you talk about all the useless diversity jobs Elon cut?

Twitter was still running fine when Slack was down. They clearly don’t “rely” on Slack as their knowledge repository.
Every big company uses Slack or something similar. People don’t have the time to constantly make documentation or send endless emails.
