Working with world-class engineers (and good human beings to boot) like Eugene was one of the things that made my job at Twitter feel less like a job and more like a privilege.

@eed3si9n @RRRMovie Also, talk to David R about RRR 😁 ‘A spectacle’ he called it.

@eed3si9n @RRRMovie Both the movies are Telugu. If you want to watch a good Tamil movie try Ponniyan Selvan, Vada Chennai, Vikram Veda (Tamil version, not Hindi) etc.

What did you get done in the last 3 weeks?

Heart feels heavier today than it did 2 weeks back when I was laid off. So proud of my coworkers. #LoveWhereYouWorked #OneTeam

Shout out to all the workers at Twitter. You all built a vital place for connection and deserved so much better. Millions of people appreciate the space you built and the hard work that went into it. Thank you 💙

People who make this place great

I think Elon just found out. 🫡💙

Never have I felt the need for a green card and my hate for h1-b than this moment.

I still remember how communicating fearlessly to build trust was not only valued, but celebrated.

At least Hillary warned us how bad things would get if she lost. I don’t know if anyone warned us how bad things would get and how fast, if the acquisition went through.

I see that we’ve reached the firing by tweet stage of this administration. Trump/Musk convergence approaches unity.

@elonmusk We have done a bunch of work to improve performance and we found that it correlates well with increasing UAM and Ad spend. Agree, there is plenty of room for performance improvements on Android. However, I don’t think the number of requests is the primary issue.

@jonasdowney Thank you for writing this. Incredibly helpful.

Leaders of eng showing their true colors, contractors finding out that they’ve been let go on a Saturday night - it’s heartbreaking to see the company’s culture being just upended, this fast.

@luis_exterior This is no less impactful than any of the other execs leaving. Thanks for everything over the years Luis! Wishing you nothing but the best.

One thing I’m sure of - when all the books are written and all the movies are made about what’s currently happening and how we got here, I will be able to tell exactly which parts are dramatized and who got an author backed role.

@dmcg One of the few people I had really meaningful 1:1s with. Thanks for everything David.

After 11 beautiful, life-changing years I have officially resigned from Twitter. 🫡 💙
