"I dunno why any Twitter engineers would be really trying that hard right now. Passively destroying Twitter from within by not trying, and trying to make a billionare lose 44 billion dollars is a significantly more fun and interesting challenge than making Twitter a better product."

Huh



Did you just cite a random HN commenter who doesn't work at Twitter to prove what "Many twitter staffers seem willing and motivated" to do?


The quote is also unrelated to actively sabotaging the codebase. An L on multiple fronts


How could that be unrelated?

An "L"? Are you 17?


Nope.


I'm curious why you thought that was relevant, then.


I replied to this comment:

>“Fifth column” paranoia is a hallmark of authoritarian leadership.

Is it paranoia when within this very same thread people are making posts about ways to see the company fail? By omission or direct action, if the ideas are expressed here then they are held by workers at Twitter.

Do you fail to see how this is relevant?

They comment I replied to is making a rather poorly founded insinuation of authoritarian leadership, ie Musk, despite having 'lead' over the enterprise for days, at best.

Presently this jibe, 'authoritarian' is being levied at conservatives & most absurdly at free speech advocates. The idiocy of such an assessment is, in fact, the operation of an authoritarian ideology.

So, yes, I believe that makes it relevant.
