Personally, I am glad that the Left can finally recognize the importance of armed civilians, guns, border security, nationalism and patriotism. Now we just need to get them to recognize the importance of those things HERE instead of in other countries. — Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) Mar 17, 2022 from http://twitter.com/laurenboebert via IFTTT

I had these (and many other) tech product decisions in mind when I wrote this post, but I didn’t want the post to be 100% about tech and I also didn’t think the post really needed to be longer, so I didn’t put these examples in the post. https://t.co/AhUndn9aP6 — Dan Luu (@danluu) Mar 17, …

the move from gchat to Hangouts chat (which was recently renamed to Google Chat) was an example of this. The company was all-in on Google+, to the point that people’s bonuses were tied to G+ numbers, which caused people to integrate everything into G+ to juice the numbers. — Dan Luu (@danluu) Mar 17, 2022 …

Lest anyone think I’m picking on MS, Google is actually much worse about this than MS. If you ask around about how product decisions are made, most have similar stories, which is why Google is famous for being terrible at product.

there was a lot of pointless pain for users because PMs insisted that they knew what was good for users and overruled objections that any disinterested party would realize are valid No reasonable person could think that it’s good to forcibly reboot machines with 0 notice at noon — Dan Luu (@danluu) Mar 17, 2022 …

For anyone who doesn’t know how tech company decisions are made, I’m not going to talk about the Twitter ranking rollout since I worked there recently, but I’ll talk about other rollouts I’m familiar with that were problematic for obvious, predicted, reasons. — Dan Luu (@danluu) Mar 17, 2022 from http://twitter.com/danluu via IFTTT

FB did the same thing quite a while ago and I asked an FB PM why, despite clicking “hide story” for months on all of the garbage in my feed, my feed was still full of high-engagement garbage instead of the lower engagement content that I’d actually want to see. — Dan Luu (@danluu) Mar …

RT @danluu: BTW, for anyone curious about how the G+ bonus thing worked out, execs later decided “j/k, we didn’t really mean it after all” after the G+ integration frenzy crippled and, in the long run, killed a number of Google products and rendered Google irrelevant in social and chat. https://t.co/VewqZqGiTj

RT @danluu: The internal rollout happened over objections. A meeting I was in to got cancelled because the presenter’s machine rebooted and then spent 3 hours updating. You might think that would be a good time for lunch, but menus were down for the same reason. https://t.co/1rSdp6vLCB

@warrenmyers Thanks for the offer, but no thanks. I have done a bunch of β€œhow to study the Bible” studies and have led two. I have two studies available to purchase on Amazon, but it has been a WHILE since I have written anything in this genre. — faith ann raider 🌻 (@faith_raider) Mar 17, …

The Twitter change where they switched everyone from their choice of timeline to ranked timeline reminds me of a question: why don’t social media companies react to negative signals from users? The change trained me to stop checking the app since it filled my feed with garbage. — Dan Luu (@danluu) Mar 17, 2022 from …

Expositional preaching forces a preacher to deal with texts he might otherwise be tempted to avoid. I’m looking forward to preaching some of those texts in @SBTS and @BoyceCollege chapel this morning as we continue our study through Jude.
