That's hardly unusual. I have been on zoom "war room" calls and there is one code and 15 managers from every department watching this guy code for a couple of hours to fix something.

Management WATCH him do the coding/debug?! Wow. What a bunch of useless idiots. Insane inefficiency.

Sounds just like how the gooberment does shit

That's not the worse thing I've seen but that's in the top 5.

I'd love to hear more. I was an engineer in the semiconductor biz many years, we were constantly driven to develop more efficient ways to get the job done. Just when things seemed ship shape, there would be 5%-10%-20% layoff depending upon future bookings and those of us who remained had to work even harder to make up for the lost productivity. I saw 31 layoffs at my facility in 25 years. We had flavor of the month efficiency training and many other employee improvement programs from the early 1990s on. Most of that was worthless and a waste of time.

They HAD to watch him. He is a conservative and may do some evil.

Just about All "management" is nothing but insane inefficiency! That's why they always fill it with the affirmative action hires. Put a bunch of niggers and women, especially nigger women, in management positions. That way they have their quotas of "minorities" but they are in positions that will not ruin the production numbers. They are expected to be inefficient anyway, like most all the rest of management.

I would be outta there if management were a bunch of idiots. No future with a ship of fools.

A sure sign of government funding. Pumping up the high dollar personnel numbers and thereby pumping up the overhead and profit dollars.

The stock market is just a tax money laundering system to the fascist system’s mega corps. That’s why the politicians get rich off of stocks. That’s where they flow their money.

Camouflaged with the population’s legit movements.

Spot on! Huge money launder operation. I would start with eliminating all grants.

Look to where state pensions “invest” in. That’s literally tax money they put straight into the “stock market”. Guess what always needs bailed out? Pensions.

No different where I work. I am on the engineering team and on any call there are 1 or 2 people who actually do stuff and then 10 others who manage people or projects and then directors and other managerial persons.

Outage calls are literally one guy working to fix something and 27 people watching or asking for updates.

[–] • 1 pt

It's amazing how technological advancements in efficiency are contorted into a ball and chain used to hinder efficiency.

If these same 27 people had to get off their ass to see the progress they wouldn't in most cases but now they can slow the person fixing the thing down without any added effort on their part.

Don't you just love it when you have to stop fixing something so you can tell members of management how long it will take to fix it! And you can never tell just one of them and them pass it on to the rest. You have to stop 10 or 15 times to tell each one!

[–] • 2 pts

Yeah I stopped doing it. I started putting the vendor or whomever (those who should be involved) on another call and then just updating them periodically.

"We are working the issue and will update you when there is a status change"

Lucky I still have a job honestly.

Sounds like money laundering.

[–] • 1 pt

People are constantly using this term when they shouldn't be.

How is this money laundering?

[–] • 2 pts (edited )

Just like book deals. Salary to people who don't actually work. Just like Biden's son “works“ to earn his salaries.

When I say money laundering I mean it literally. Friends of the party...

What is there left to code in Twitter? Their software is functionally very simple, it's already mature, and scales well.

Infrastructure engineers are FAR more valuable for such a product. And I would imagine there are loads of legit business needs for advertising and sales people.

It's the censorship and content review people that are clearly the problem and need to go ASAP.

Twitter works efficiently because of the hardware they have thrown at it. It is the poor response time that makes Parler and other alternatives a pain to use.

Also the architecture. You can throw as much horsepower as you can dream up at bad code and it won't scale.

My point is that Twitter has already optimized its code base, while others like Parler clearly haven't. That's why Parler needs loads of programmers and architects but Twitter really doesn't any more.

Twitter seems to work like an app or an online game, not a web page. It does most of its work in the user's browser and minimizes its communication with twitter servers. It is hard to square the competence evident in such optimized coding and sane architecture with the general insanity of the rest of twitter.
