That LOC thing with Twitter is just a big rumor. There are a lot of dumb rumors about Twitter and Musk floating around. Don’t believe / repeat everything you hear.

The “print your code” thing happened.

My performance reviews are largely based on the quality of code too. Reviewing code doesn't just mean counting lines.

And?

[ahahahahah]

If the dumbest of the rumors was actually true, it may be prudent not to doubt the others.

[i_like_apis]

A dumb sounding thing happened, which wasn’t even a rumor, there were lots of pictures of it - so that means you should believe a lot of other non-credible stuff coming from people who passionately hate Musk?

No that doesn’t follow.

They used a thanos style random number generator. If the day in your DOB is an odd number you were fired.

Well, I guess you don't want unlucky people working for you!

It is on the listicle of things to make you highly successful.

- Wake up at 4am every day.

- Only hire lucky people (they get to work for you that instantly makes them one of the lucky ones right!?)

- Fire the unlucky people or the people having a bad day (its a pretty bad and/or unlucky day when you get fired, if they had any luck at all you wouldnt have thought of their name when you decided to fire someone)

> - Fire the unlucky people

The perfect way to select for luck! Fire people randomly, therefore you will on average only have lucky people working for you! Genius!

I don't think they really care who get fired. To those executives in large organizations, individual contributors are no more than a number. As long as they can make the numbers they do care looking better, no one really matters much.
