I don't judge. I fall asleep at my desk all the time.
Do you need a siesta amigo? I think so.
But that's none of your business, is it? I didn't think so asshole. Because this is America, and we can do as we please, mostly. And we only pay for our own consequences. That is the difference.

There are many examples of companies running their software developers into the ground. Usually the developers have stake in the company so they are actually gaining something by working as slaves. Start ups have the advantage of starting at zero, so if it sells for a few million, the employees can take a piece of that home.
From what I've seen, working people into ground works in short doses, you can get away with it for some years however the technical debt you accumulate is the price you pay.
When you are working 12+ hours a day 5+ days a week you are not documenting correctly, you are not planning properly you are just churning out code that "works". This is especially true if you are in a company that has very little middle management (usually because it's a start up, but I guess if the new owner fired everyone it'd be the same situation) who's job it is to ensure things like that are done correctly.
What you have is highly custom code that only the developers who wrote it understand. If they start to leave, it takes longer and longer to integrate new hires and they will start creating their own paths as it'll be easier then dealing with the original undocumented code. It starts getting very messy.
The start up mentality is to keep it going until you sell or go public and then deal with the problems then.

Judging by the money still getting spent in SF, there are still plenty of companies handing out good stock packages. It’s still working for a shitload more people than you’d think from what I see around here

Isn’t the whole point that if you made your nut within the last twenty years, it doesn’t matter anymore?
You only have to be in the right place once. For Elon, that was being born with apartheid blood money.

I can’t access my account from a desktop browser anymore but this Letterman interview with Chapelle was always a good sum of my thoughts. Relevant comments start at 2:35.

Timeline and content loading all sorts of weird today. I definitely notice system degradation.

Elon fired his FBI guy;

It makes me think the only reason Elon is getting away with his Twatter escapades is because he is providing satellite coverage to Ukraine . If Ukraine ever ends, or receives less coverage in the press, Elon is going to be in trouble.

It’s still hard for govt to step in on an ongoing business and now the red team is all in. look at all the fraudulent crypto, mortgages 2007-08, it’s the sizzle of capitalism.
It’s the risk Twitter is willing to take long term. Musk thinks news is just information vomit and maybe he’s right. It wouldn’t be my choice

That happened to me on Truth Social. I'm sure Fux News also allows equal access to all their content and programs..
First amendment free speech has ZERO to do with what businesses allow your views and expression. It's only about whether or not the government can punish you for those expressions.
Facebook and Cambridge Analytics (with Russian bots) manipulated the shit out of the algorithms in favor of Trump over Clinton in 2016Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

My casual observation is that the guy waving a big flag about shadow banning being a horrible violation of the first amendment has banned people for making fun of him.
My guess is that most of the cases of people being shadow banned is because they violated the terms of service.
