I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"
As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

This is what micromanaging from the top looks like, when the CEO *thinks* they can tell the source of the problem and how to fix it, just by looking at it.
It’s incredibly frustrating when it happens to you. It’s rare to see it this public.
Good luck to engineers in the weeds.

We hit 500 users yesterday. Just got a larger server (should handle 2k users) and went through and let hundreds of folks on that signed up. If you didn't get on this round hold tight. Should be good in a few days. Thank you @mastohost@mastodon.social for lovely hosting and (1/2)

If folks are interested in positions working with Kotlin, make sure you join the #hiring channel on kotlinlang.slack.com. Offers are posted quite frequently.

Lispers: Lisp is the most beautiful language, so elegant that it wasn't so much created as discovered, as timeless as mathematics itself—which it of course is.
Lisp: LOL my two most common functions are named after CPU instructions from a weird-ass chip that IBM made in the 50s.

"Kotlin is now the recommended programming language for server-side JVM usage at Google, set to replace Java while still providing access to a large existing Java ecosystem."

A good friend of mine (and an ex-colleague) is looking for two founding engineers for their startup.
It is a good idea that solves a real problem for salespeople and already has paying customers. (That's rare😀) ycombinator.com/companies/ci…
Lmk if you want an intro to @davidjwiner.

Producing State with Flows tunjid.github.io/Mutator/
Really cool to see this article is actually an interactive Compose for Web page! 👏 Very nicely illustrates use of Unidirectional Data Flow (UDF) approach that mobile dev is increasingly standardising on.

If you are trying to find out how you can help with the situation in Ukraine, a trusted friend sent me this link:

It includes various ways to support #Ukraine. They are doing an impressive job against all odds and need all the support they can get.

Happy to share that we now have a #Kotlin community here on Twitter 🎉 xitter.cf/i/communities/14946969…
Feel free to DM me to get an invite (I believe members should have ~5 invites to give away also) 💪

The declarative nature of Compose radically simplifies the maintainability of your app. "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." It typically takes people 3-6 months usage before it suddenly clicks for them.
