I don't want to hear how Elon is going to revolutionize ANYTHING in government IT if he can't keep Twitter up.
Yes, I've heard it was a DDoS. It's also 2025. DDoS controls are well understood and it's frankly unacceptable for something as large as Twitter to fall victim to DDoS at this point.

An organization that doesn't have spare capacity can't do the extra work to maintain the details and can't handle events when life tosses a curve ball or people get sick.
Resiliency is more important than chasing razor thin efficiency in my opinion.
Resiliency is more important than chasing razor thin efficiency in my opinion.
Katie Leonard (one of our eng managers) recently wrote a 🔥killer🔥 piece on the current obsession with cutting middle management in the name of "efficiency".
"Efficiency is not the same as effectiveness. An org running at 100% capacity is brittle, not agile."

Cutting Middle Management Is Costing Your Capacity for Change
Over the last year, the tech industry has seen a wave of layoffs targeting middle management. Executives at companies like Meta, Shopify, and Amazon have framed this as a push toward efficiency.

His wife stole my whole branding kit too.
Last year, I reported that Bungie had fired former exec Chris Barrett for misconduct. Barrett then sued for wrongful termination, which surprised me given that I'd seen his texts to subordinates and figured Bungie could publish them in response.

If you're writing for a paywalled organisation, you don't get to complain about people only reading the clickbait headline, them's the rules. If you don't want your beautifully nuanced column judged on a terrible clickbait headline, take it up with your employer.
