Whoever did this, is my nominee for the #OrderOfCanada #RamRanchResistance. I am only sad because I'm sure it will taken down.

The #Twittertitanic has just pulled away from the iceberg, and the countdown has begun.

For the codebase that is as massive as that to layoff large amounts of staff, is a recipe for disaster.

As noted in the article, it'll start with small issues. They'll start piling up, and will be put into a queue, triage protocol deployed. Though the queue will just grow longer and longer over time.

The working hours of the remaining staff will grow longer, as the team tries to do more with less. Burnout will occur. People will leave. Others may be hired to take their place, but there will be a learning curve. It takes time to familiarize yourself with an unfamiliar codebase.

Meanwhile, the issues just keep piling up.

Outages will occur, when the server goes down. Patches will be deployed, getting it back up. But another part of the code breaks, causing another outage. It will seesaw like that until it just can't be patched. There's just too few resources to deal with the workload.

Elon really shot himself in the foot, and he probably doesn't even know it yet 🤠

I'd like to thank Elon Musk for introducing me to Mastadon. This cowhand has rode back from the #RamRanch and decided to set up shop here. Hopefully others from the ranch will follow suit. 🤠
