Why Elon Musk ‘Fired’ This App Developer on Twitter

Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who has been shedding staff and contractors of the microblogging platform, has fired yet one more member of his Twitter group. The individual whose employment was terminated by Musk is an Android developer named Eric Frohnhoefer who had said in his tweet that Musk’s evaluation of Twitter being sluggish because the app is doing “> 1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render timelines,” was flawed. A distant process name (RPC) permits a program on one laptop to a service from a program positioned on one other machine and is utilized in distributed computing.

On Sunday evening, Musk tweeted, “Btw, I’d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is doing > 1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!”

What is the right number?” He additionally requested, “Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that?”

As reactions to Frohnhoefer’s Twitter dialog poured in, a pseudonymous consumer said, “I have been a developer for 20 years. And I can tell you that as the domain expert here you should inform your boss privately. Trying to one up him in public while he is trying to learn and be helpful makes you look like a spiteful self-serving dev.”

“Maybe he should ask questions privately. Maybe using Slack or email,” the developer replied curtly. Another consumer then chimed in and tagged Musk in his tweet, asking the billionaire, “with this kind of attitude, you probably don’t want this guy on your team.”

Musk responded stating, “He’s fired.”

Since buying Twitter Musk has fired a number of staff of the corporate together with CEO Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal and even the Board of Directors.

He has additionally made a flurry of choices impacting the working of Twitter which has tens of millions of each day energetic customers.

Among the largest change that Twitter is seeing is the inclusion of the brand new $7.99 monthly Blue subscription. However, Musk’s choice to implement the blue tick price didn’t go effectively with many, and several other main manufacturers have pulled, or paused their ads from the microblogging web site.
