@wongmjane Honestly one of the best thing’s they’ve done with the algo in a min.
English
Liking every tweet from mutuals that I haven’t seen for a while just to train the algo I actually prefer seeing my friends over strangers
… while this new change lasts 🤞

.@tinki_loh & i loooove lamps. we wanted to make a modular lamp system that that we could adapt to our spaces over time
so we're starting with a sculptural set of stones that you can stack, spin, and style!
preorders open now, link below
each lamp made to order in sf & new york, delivery starts august

trying some taller stones based on early customer feedback cc @tinki_loh

@EdDaWord I think its because product folks tend to generally be more senior, and also because its a higher leverage role than strictly eng
I actually think this is amplified with AI, product thought is more important. Which is why we're also seeing the rise of product engineers, a hybrid

It’s interesting to note the engineering-first shops where median eng ICs are paid better than the median PM
Apple, Nvidia, and Uber are the 3 among this cohort

@galvenite @zuhayeer I don’t disagree but by that logic design or web or mobile Eng would be paid the most but they are paid the least.

@striedinger Goated. All you Hugo. Thanks for being so great at your job and such a good human.

This started out over 2 years ago and for a very long time it was just me doing it on the side. I’ve had to justify it to leadership every time it changed. It was far from a smooth launch, but it’s out now finally and could not be possible without support from my managers since @EdDaWord @fredloh @nikitabier and @yagiznizipli joining in the eng side to accelerate this and every single other web eng including @kjemelik, @ZachWarunek and others

X has quietly launched its complete rewrite of X Web, starting with Logged-Out pages Built with Tanstack Router and Tailwind, which brings in SSR Streaming, Vite, Rolldown, ES Modules, etc all the modern web practices Congrats to the @Engineering Web team for pulling this off!

@sheriffly @wongmjane @Engineering @X No idea. Never worked on BlueSky. It wasn’t a fork of Twitter PWA afaik.
English
@EdDaWord @wongmjane @Engineering @X How much of this stays alive on Bluesky according to you? Just curious.

@steveruizok You can tweet about micro-interactions cause it’s basically just marketing side of design Eng.
You can’t really tweet out feature/product prototypes without serious ramifications. Unless you’re talking about a sizzle reel once the feature ships.
Same goes for internal tools.
English
lots of twitter design engineering content is microinteractions and animation work, whereas the 95% should be ripping through feature prototypes and pulling weeds in the app*. You gotta put yourself on the critical path folks
*both of which produce excellent content btw

@Hal_Wayland @LinkofSunshine You’re not, he was trying to crowd source a script solution via Twitter. Man was not good at product engineering.
English
@LinkofSunshine The mistake was thinking a guy like George Hotz would enjoy fixing a "search feature", of course he's going to see your garbage code and leave.
I do vaguely remember him actually asking to come in and fix it though, am I making that up?
English
Remember when Elon hired one of the world's most renowned engineers to fix the search feature, and he realized it was so broken he couldn't fix it and resigned
Hunter📈🌈📊@StatisticUrban
I swear I did not edit this. Has there ever been a more useless search feature in history?

Things that are odd about this post:
- $700k/yr is typical L7 (or even L6/L5) MANGO/FAANG comp. Your average Sr. Staff SWE doesn't have "wiki pages" nor people recognizing them in the street. There are tens/hindreds of thousands of them in the SFBA. They are not celebrities. They are just regular people.
- Acquiring $1mm net worth working in big tech does not require one to have any particular peculiarities. See above re: the abundance of people in this category in tech, especially in the SFBA.
I don't really have a point. This post showed up on my feed and it felt like a special case of Gell-Mann Amnesia.

Went on dates with guys who made >$700k and had wiki pages and the first thing they would complain about when they got comfortable on the date was that they didn’t like “dumb” girls they couldn’t talk to. I found it strange that this man prioritized the ability to converse more than I thought because when we’d walk around in public, people would recognize him. It wasn’t just about looks. I had one guy friend that would go on to make >$200k right out of college. And even when we were poor college kids, mid way thru a date with a cute girl, he made up an excuse that he had a work emergency come up at his part time job, paid the bill, and left. He told me it was actually because he got super bored. Had another man worth >$1M, self made, by his early 30s. He kept complimenting me on my side hustles and career. Said I understood because we were in the same fields. There is a certain type of man that does care about looks but equally cares about the ability to converse if not more.

@SoundDobad I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people put photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth. A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
English
@kelin_online 💯 this, and anyone who proclaims otherwise is usually cherrypicking claims in retrospect. The only thing to do is to prototype and get real user feedback. Otherwise it’s mostly theater masquerading as strategy. It’s become so evident that some people just yap with no lived exp.

nobody knows what's going to happen so just tune out the noise and build the future that you want for your own work

One interesting trend over the past year is how quickly vibes complete the full circle. In just the last few months, we’ve done multiple round trips: - PMs went from “the role is dead” to “we still need PMs” to “PMs might be the most important function.” - Software engineering went from “AI will wipe out coding jobs” to “new grads can’t get hired” to “software hiring is booming again.” - SaaS itself went from “software is dying” to SaaSpocalypse to “actually, AI is software too. We are so back!”

@EdDaWord A childhood of athletic grinding is no better than a childhood of academic grinding.
English
I’m an immigrant. So are my parents. I ran Track through high school and college. Track taught me grit and gave me an outlet to succeed beyond my academics. A childhood of pure academic grinding isn’t discipline, you’re holding them back with old country thinking.

My immigrant parents didn't allow me to play sports. In retrospect they had a point.
