I just got home from a canceled Twitter developers conference. I was given some advice about where to get a beer near Twitter and here is a brief report. The Beer Garden, 1 Polk St. SF, is a place you can go to get really excellent beer and bump into some of the remaining Twitter personnel. Yesterday, they were processing the whole 5 PM deadline to check the box for yes on "extreme" working conditions. Conversations were animated at 6 PM. The streams of Tweets bidding farewell by Tweeps after six to ten years of work were rebounding through phones and animated conversations. Now the building is in another lockdown, critical infrastructure posts formerly staffed by large teams have two, one, or zero engineers in place. Trust & Safety and content moderation teams are crippled and probably beyond short term repair. Despite all that, I was told that an academic got a quick turn around an application for academic credentials, so I'm not sure what to expect in the days ahead. Part of me wants and expects the bird to crash. The other part loves Twitter. -- Dr. Stuart W.
