Actual programmer here, my day yesterday: - Wake up at 5am to take the missus to the train station (long story)... - come back home and get my son up at 7 to go to kinder, drop him in town then come home and start work ~8:30, - code furiously until lunch time because a big client has put in a bunch of feature requests a month before release (release is end of October). - spend lunch time working on my greenhouse (will post about it once I get it done.. might take a while). - back to coding, duck into town to pick up my son and missus - quick dinner - back to coding (occasional break to shit post on the internet). - 9pm bath and bedtime for son - back to coding... finish around 11pm

Rinse and repeat.

Within twitter, there are probably less than 100 people who actually do anything worthwhile or have fundamental knowledge about how it all works technically. The rest can be replaced or permanently removed.

Same, yesterday 8am start, finished at 10:30pm. Stopped for lunch, dinner and fag breaks and that's it. I was watching this video thinking how it would actually be quite nice to have a workplace with those amenities, so during a 12 hour workday you could take a workout in their fancy gym, or get a nutritious meal served up gratis. Presumably that's why those features are there - for the autist coders in the basement holding the edifice together, to try and give them some semblance of a work life balance. I bet they never use those facilities and it's just the dossers, like the woman in the video, prancing and laying about all day who have the time to use them.

I have similar thoughts. They need devs to write occasional feature enhancements, infrastructure people to keep the servers/network/storage/etc running, and a smattering of legit business people (accountants, lawyers, etc), but I dont buy for a moment that Twitter needs more than a fraction of its employees. They can fire 95% of their lunatic content moderators and tell people to get a court order or the content stays up.

The real 'workers' in any place like that are the incel autist loners in the basement. The rest is just window dressing.

Elon has a reputation for merit. I fully expect cries of racism will soon follow. If he demands employees based on merit, you can bet most of the non-whites, the fags, and trannies will be fired.

I could see him trolling the director of diversity and inclusion personally out the front door

He changed his mind. He now says he will be firing 100%.

Nothing but brownies and liberal chicks everywhere…. Where did all the white men go?

To real software companies and real software projects doing real technical work, not some airy dipshit “service” or “platform” company blathering about grand social schemes as if they were goals, while hiring huff-and-puff dumbfuck “software engieers” who can’t really do any particular thing worth a fuck anyway.

There are industries that don’t tolerate this happy-and-smelly-air-headed-bitch bullshit, because there’s far too much real work to be done that niggers like that can not do.

I’ve worked in software industries which have such a healthy intolerance, and they are quietly and profoundly successful.

And I’ll fucking keep doing it.

Real talent put forth by White Men is fucking intolerant and fucking unstoppable, because it works.

Fuck politics, the dimwit niggers who thrive on it, and the man-buns and poos who want that shit in their “software companies”.

More than just that, though (as encouraging as it is to hear…). Where are the white men? Construction…or trade industry as a whole is littered with brownies. Look around service industries - cooks, waiters, retail - all women and brownies. Good luck finding a white driver. And now even hospitals are being overrun..

I didn't see any actual work in that video. Just training, meetings, and slacking off. Useless cunts.

The whole time I was thinking "when does the actual WORK get done?"

Same as that LinkedIn video form a month ago. Just worthless people faking like they don't fuck off all day long.

Wow. I spent yesterday installing a toilet, crawling around a wet crawlspace to repair some leaks that caused a flood, fixing some slow drains and also giving a couple of estimates. It was a slow day but I still didn’t have time for lunch. Certainly didn’t have time to go to the meditation room. Wtf

This is why I don't trust people who've never worked a "dirty job". Whether that's plumbing or cleaning the unholy horror underneath a restaurant stove, working a job where the work is objectively "done" or "you're fired" does wonders for basing people in reality. Rather than the ivory tower of "I got a Phd and then went to Twitter to sit with a glass of wine in a meditation pod" where their idea of a hard day is a hangnail.

Edit: I've worked some jobs that were both dirty and straight up dangerous no matter how many safety precautions you took. Jobs where "muy feels" and "words" couldn't talk you out of a mistake because one screwup would get you killed. None of those jobs had fricking matcha or diversity quotas.
