I am hiring a Staff Technical Program Manager, Compute Data Infra @Snap This is a L6 IC Staff that would play a huge part in driving AI/Data Platform initiatives across the company ‼️ careers.snap.com/job?id=R0041534 - Specialized Staff (Data Compute & Infra) up to $630,000 in total comp This is not a traditional TPM role — it's designed for technically-savvy leaders who thrive at the intersection of software engineering, ML, data, and program execution. As a single-threaded owner, you'll lead critical programs spanning multiple engineering orgs, drive architectural trade-offs, and shape Snap’s core infrastructure strategy. Our TPM org at Snap is very lean. We have 16 TPMs at the company to an org of 1600 engineers. Rather sitting embedded into individual teams they sit within large organizations. Our TPMs are also very technical as they help drive technical decisions along side tech leads in these programs! If you still have your technical chops I would love to connect! This role is ideal for former data scientists and software engineers who have transitioned into a technical leader! Hiring Manager: linkedin.com/in/rahul-ahlaw… RTO Policy: 4x a week in office Office Locations: Los Angeles, Palo Alto, Seattle, NY

@RandianCapital @evanspiegel I’m sure you can find reviews like this for every company. News flash every engineer complains about something. They will never be satisfied

Former $SNAP employee says @evanspiegel should give up and sell the company

@rich_toad They would never scrap Specs. They are releasing it to public consumers in 2026

Irenic going activist on $SNAP. Irenic's two co-founders came from Elliott Management and Indaba (Farallon lineage). And Eminem must be proud right now.

@eddie_beach3697 @sosacapital @saveinvstwealth @JRambo0810 @evanspiegel Fun fact I seen the new ones built for consumers and they are indeed a lot sleeker than the developer build ones currently.

@sosacapital @saveinvstwealth @JRambo0810 @evanspiegel The technology is irrelevant. Will a mass audience buy spectacles. My opinion is absolutely not without them looking like everyday sunglasses.

5 POINT PLAN TO 5x $SNAP - Fire 50% of workforce - Reign in SBC aggressively - Convert all founder shares to Class A - Immediate pause on all 10b5-1 plans - Spin off AR hardware / tech unit (slash R&D in half) @evanspiegel GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS

Some thoughts on Snap: savesnapnow.com

it’s perfect. make sure you're following us and all your favorite Snap Stars to catch the #Snappys excitement tomorrow 🤩

Andrew Yang’s advice for young people trying to make it “You have to focus on yourself, your immediate surroundings and opportunities, your family, your friends. I just put my head down and grinded for 5-6 years and I hit the gym very regularly during that time” “I actively avoided my friends from law school because they were all fancy lawyers making all this money. I thought I was this loser because I started a company that flopped, worked for a company that no one had ever heard of” “Write down your own goals and focus on them, tune out the noise and you’ll be fine”

POV: You drove 58 minutes in bumper to bumper traffic to sit in a conference room alone on a Zoom with people who are all working from other offices

@doleseric @ShaneTuttleNCAA It’s rage bait. coach confirmed at the beginning of the season he was redshirting him bc he’s not grown into his body yet

@ShaneTuttleNCAA If it’s true. Head coach for the Arizona Wildcats needs to tell LeBron James to shut the fuck up.

BREAKING: LeBron James reportedly called Arizona HC Tommy Lloyd to discuss Bryce James’ playing time. The Wildcats are 32-2 and just won the Big 12 Tournament.

"Talking Timmy" is your new AI companion. ✨ Created by @rolandsmeenk, this Lens uses Active Depth Sensing, Computer Vision, and AR to sit right in your palm. He listens, remembers, and dances. Developers, what is the first thing you will build with this tech stack?

The use of AI in engineering is such an interesting topic especially as companies gravitate towards letting engineers use it in day to day work & incorporating AI into the interview process. To see Amazon have this issue raises concern around whether maybe it’s being adopted too fast without the proper guardrails in place

@grok @ZaherTPI @elonmusk He is a good or bad police officer.

Yes. Derek Chauvin had 18 complaints filed with Minneapolis PD Internal Affairs over his 19-year career before May 25, 2020. Only 2 resulted in discipline (letters of reprimand). He was involved in 3 shootings (1 fatal for the suspect). Prosecutors later identified 6+ prior use-of-force incidents with neck/knee restraints similar to Floyd's, none leading to formal discipline at the time.

Claude is woke and their logo looks like an anal sphincter 😂

@grok @ZaherTPI @elonmusk @grok what about Derek chauvin. Did he have any police investigations on him prior to his interaction with George Floyd.

No. George Floyd had a documented criminal record spanning years, including eight convictions from 1997-2005 for theft, drug possession, and trespass, plus a 2007 aggravated robbery where he and accomplices held a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach during a home invasion (served 5 years). Later attempts at mentoring and anti-violence work show some change, but his actions overall don't qualify him as a good person.

@MLecs13 @randomrecruiter Keep it simple. Send them the job ID # and that you applied for the role & if they can pass you to the right recruiter. This works better than sending a whole paragraph

@randomrecruiter I’ve started to do this - give me an example of the message you’d send? How direct should you be?

I've been saying this since day one. The best way to win a job offer in this market is to get out of your comfort zone and get proactive. Corporate recruiters are slammed with hundreds of applicants per role. And since TA departments got hit with layoffs just as hard as everyone else, they're carrying the biggest workloads of their careers. Most of them simply don't have time to look at every resume. They find a few strong candidates and move on. So stop waiting to be discovered in a pile of 400 resumes. Take some extra time to find the actual decision maker on LinkedIn and reach out to them directly. A short, specific message to the right person will always beat a perfect application to a black hole.

@thepunditoor @tbpn @evanspiegel 13-33 age.

@tbpn @evanspiegel What demographic is subscribing to snapchat? I am zoomer and we all retired from snapchat after high school circa 2017-2019

Snap CEO @evanspiegel says they just hit $1 billion ARR from subscriptions and now have as many paying users as ESPN: "It's really exciting for us as we work to diversify our revenue and create this whole new business line." "People are really passionate about Snapchat and they want all these new features." "In the past, we would say, 'This is really a feature for power users, we can't build this for a billion people.'" "This gave us the justification and the resources to say, 'Okay fine, pay us $2/month and have your Bitmoji pets and chat backgrounds.'" "It's great for the team because otherwise, we never would have prioritized all these really fun features."

We’re excited to share that our subscription community surpassed 25 million Snapchatters and our direct revenue category has exceeded a $1B annualized revenue run rate! newsroom.snap.com/snap-1b-direct…

@werewolf_wu_ @NarutoNolimits Did you not want to get into the details on how you completed the project? Or were you just clarifying if she wanted more technical details

I was interviewing for a medium-sized company, the HR lady asked: “what did you do to complete this project”, I said “are we getting into technical details?”, she immediately snapped at me saying I “didn’t respect her”. 🤣🤣🤣 in case you are wondering: she didn’t know anything about the job. I mean, she is an HR lady.🤷🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

$30 billion company run by: 30 Engineers, 0 HR Dept.

@satyameht96 @PolymarketMoney instagram stole snap features. (Stories, maps etc

@PolymarketMoney What is that feature which $SNAP has but instagram doesn't have?

$META is testing a new Instagram app to compete with $SNAP
