brands, dunk on musk

Step 1 of online brand-management is to, like, not personally reply to everyone who hates you to let them know that they’ve successfully hurt your feelings.

Twitter employees take pride in being able to speak up to power, the same principle this platform was built on. 2 yrs ago, I openly criticized execs for their lack of diversity. Instead of firing me, they reached out directly and ran focus groups with women and folks of color.

It’s hard for people on the outside to appreciate how nonsensical this selective “policy” enforcement is. The team responsible for the serving of 10MM+ tweets / second for internal and user-facing use cases is down to like 2 people. Good luck shipping basically… anything?

@binary_aaron ironically many dimensions of this acquisition have been a leeroy jenkins maneuver of sorts

And, for the any employees still at Twitter, don’t underestimate the power of a pocket veto.
Sometimes it doesn’t work out, or you have to escalate and risk it back firing, but a good pocket veto is a tool to learn to wield well.

Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment. I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that.

@shaayohn sayan, this is extremely sweet. you've been an ally throughout and pushed me to grow and lifted up everyone around you. <3

@binary_aaron I have learned more from you technically than anybody. I learned how integral empathy and thoughtfulness is to good technical design.
You made everything around you better off. I am so grateful to have learned from you.
Look forward to the many amazing things you’ll do.

Losing the META team is a deep loss to the field. It is inexpressible. In awe of @ruchowdh @KLdivergence @binary_aaron @__lucab @ubiquity75 @if_peradejordi who are the most kind and grounded human beings I’ve ever met, even as the magnitude of their work impact is staggering.

i keep thinking of my fellow tweeps who have worked so hard to make this platform and the company behind it better in so many ways.

so much life has happened during this time. we've all met lifelong friends (and sometimes more 😉) at the tweet factory and i hope for the good of the world that it either somehow manages to be better or just shuts down.

do you consider Modest Mouse and At The Drive In "emo" or something else? seems like there is debate. (I don't, always sorta thought they were post-hardcoreish)
