The year is 1999. You’re 16 years old sitting shotgun in your best friend’s 1991 Nissan Sentra. It has an Alpine deck and two 12’s in the back he bought from a guy named Mike (surely stolen). Feel Me Flow by Naughty by Nature blasts. He drops you off at your girlfriend’s house where you’ll touch boobs under the bra for the first time while watching Tremors. The second one that doesn’t even have Kevin Bacon. Her dad comes home just as she reaches under your JNCO’s. It’s painful but it’s also the greatest night of your life. Your friend picks you up and you go smoke a bowl in your school’s dugout. You talk about how you’ll either be a Navy Seal or on Saturday Night Live. You get a page from your mom and go home, check AIM and pass out. Life is good.

wow the guy who led product for Snapchat from 2015-2022 and then Discord from 2022-2026 is taking over at twitter? jesus fucking christ it has literally never been more over. like hiring elizabeth holmes to run neuralink.
I’m joining the team at @X to lead Product.
I am a huge believer in @SpaceX's mission to extend human consciousness to the stars, so it’s time to make shitposting multiplanetary.
X is the best way to find out what’s happening in the world right now and talk about it. The team has been working tirelessly to make X a better place and product for the people who love it, and many have noticed the recent momentum. My goal is to help accelerate that momentum for our community, new users, and businesses globally by continuing to make this product beautiful and useful.
We are twenty years in, but it truly feels like X’s next chapter will be our greatest. I look forward to your ideas and feedback; I’m sure the replies will be measured and magnanimous.

PCBs made in America. Twice as fast as Shenzhen.
Today @CircuitHub is unveiling The Grid, our factory-scale robot in Massachusetts that builds circuit boards on demand.
No changeovers, no per-design setup. Prototypes and production batches, fully automated.

A video version of a thread I made some time ago. The Virginia Hercules!

AirBNB had its place and time, but it’s over. Had a lovely stay at a Hyatt last night, left trash in the can, towels on the ground, and am confident my corporate overlord isn’t going to light me up with a guest review video. A professional exchange of goods for money. The AirBNB hosts did this to themselves and the platform lost control long ago.
its just bonkers the new policy @airbnb is trying to put in place. Putting the dishes in the dishwasher, taking out the trash, pulling the sheets off the bed....they are just standard things any normal person would do when staying at a house. Why wouldn't a host be allowed to say that?

We just saw the dumbest play call in Michigan football history. Trailing Indiana 6-0, UM has third and goal from the 1. OC Jason Beck calls for freshman Tommy Carr to roll out and try to hit the Rhino guy, Beigel. Sacked. Missed FG. That's arrogance and stubborness from Beck.

This man just took the same plastic recorder that used to sound like a dying goose in elementary school and casually started shredding Sultans of Swing on it.
Eyes half-closed, fully committed, fingers flying like he actually practiced this instead of just surviving Hot Cross Buns.
Somewhere a music teacher is watching this and having an existential crisis. The recorder has seen things. It will never be
the same.

If your company refers to engineers as the IT department, you have nothing to worry about. You were already breached last week.

"We're cutting ties with Space/X in favor of a bankrupt company with zero active satellites which is completely dependent on Space/X for all future satellite launches."
That'll show them.

I trust an agent's explanation of a codebase more when it has to draw it.
I recently shared native-surface, a library that renders react native apps in the browser without the DOM. It's tricky to explain in text, but a diagram makes it clear.
Stop asking your agent to only explain the code. Ask it to draw a walkthrough.

Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.
