Pour one out for the dozen remaining Twitter engineers, chained to their H1-B visas, forced to spend their 4-day weekend implementing and then correcting for all of Elon's dumbest ideas.

nicce,

@evacide The funniest thing is that apparently they are DDoS:in themselves with these changes, because forced login leads for loops of fetching content which is never acquired.
Scale this to every instance or use-case in the world which used to show Tweets without logging in.

@evacide They only have to hold on for another couple of weeks, before the Canadian "3-year visa to any H1-B holder in the US" kicks in on July 16th.

@maswan @evacide “As of July 16th 2023, H1-B holders in the US and their accompanying immediate family members will be eligible to apply to come to Canada. The approved applicants will receive an open work permit for up to three years, which means they can work for almost any employer in Canada.”

Huh. I thought you were kidding.

@evacide
Fixing Elon's dumb Twitter ideas is reliable lifetime employment. A steady job, if you can stand it.

void_trans,

@evacide it should be considered slavery imo.

Like imagine being chained to your visa while being a brown person and your CEO is now and open white supremacist.

@evacide Canada may be an option for H1B visa holders who lose their jobs. Canada is supposed to make it easier to get work permits: https://www.forbes.com/sites/andyjsemotiuk/2023/06/28/us-h1-b-visa-holders-targeted-by-canadas-new-immigration-program/?sh=6ab4e8dc59b5

Lockdownyourlife,

@evacide I honestly feel terrible for them and the rest of us who use the platform for work. 🥲

phil,

@evacide major incident response sucks enough with a solid crew and high morale. This is the IT equivalent of Pickett's Charge, just doomed

JetSm00th,

@evacide it’s cute you think they even get the four-day weekend. 🤨

@evacide it’s going to be interesting to see what happens when Canada opens their doors to H1B holders.

karlrolson,

@evacide it's kind amazing that twitter's garbage management not only ruins the day of twitter staff, but also apparently every other social media site's weekend as well. I've seen devs for Bluesky & Mastodon make posts that amount to "Elon ruined my weekend, again" and with instagram's auth being flaky, even Meta's SREs are having a bad weekend.

theLastTheorist,

@evacide Knowing that a new, even dumber idea will come rolling down before they can correct for the last one.

@evacide I like this one, actually. It's like limiting the quantity of drugs to someone who doesn't even know they are addicted
