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.

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.

The “print your code” thing happened.

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

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.

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