But if Twitter ever does manage to achieve some sort of stability and success in the distant future, idiots like this will start crowing that of course Twitter needed to be purged of its dead weight and you gotta break some eggs in order to make an omelette and that THIS WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG instead of epic and totally unnecessary mismanagement & human suffering that miraculously got corrected somehow.

@jkottke The living embodiment of Dunning-Kruger…

@jkottke Are people still wasting their time with that app? Tsk tsk tsk

@jkottke Paul Graham once told me I “represent one of the worst forces at work in the world” because I asked why a spreadsheet app he was backing should be called that if it didn’t do spreadsheet stuff, lmao

Tweet from Paul Graham, paulg on Twitter, from 2022-11-16

Text: "It's remarkable how many people who've never run any kind of company think they know how to run a tech company better than someone who's run Tesla and SpaceX."

@jkottke One of many problems with these Glass Onions is they believe fervently that a social graph of mercurial human behavior is much easier to manage than cars or rockets governed by discernable physical laws.

@jkottke The funniest thing about this tweet is that Graham — purportedly at the center of Silicon Valley connections — doesn't know (won't admit?) that Phony Stark doesn't even run those companies!

@jkottke The company was bloated and horribly mismanaged, bleeding $120M/month. It probably would not have survived a deep recession, as the type of ads it survives on are the first to go. MediaRadar reported a big ad drop BEFORE Musk. Twitter WILL succeed and it will be more profitable than ever as they venture into more relevant ads and various financial services. Mark my word. This WAS the plan from the start (X.com). I love your work, but Musk is badly misunderstood in this tech circle.
