Twitter | Sr. Software Engineer | REMOTE US/Canada or ONSITE (multiple US offices)

Twitter is hiring senior software engineers for two new engineering effectiveness teams. These teams work closely with internal engineering customers at Twitter, and will be a great fit for experienced software engineers who are passionate about developing tools that empower other engineers to do their best work.

* The Development Environment team is responsible for Twitter engineers’ interactive software development environment. We focus on how the collection of development tools used at Twitter can work better together. The team owns the systems used to package and distribute tools and configurations to workstations, measure usage and performance analytics for development tools, provide remote workspaces, and more. Tools are written in Python and Scala and build on relevant open source technologies. The team’s customers include all engineers at Twitter. For more information or to apply: https://t.co/VYk3xiPv3p

* The Information Experience team is responsible for Twitter’s internal technical documentation tools. This includes tools for writing, reading and searching for documentation. Tools are written in Python and Scala and build on relevant open source technologies. The team’s customers include all engineers and technical writers at Twitter. For more information or to apply: https://t.co/oOodemfXqP

General information: We’re currently looking to seed these teams with senior software engineers in the US or Canada before expanding to team members earlier in their careers and in other parts of the world. Currently, all Twitter offices are closed, but you would have the option to work from one once they reopen. We strongly believe in a safe workplace and healthy work-life balance for all.

When applying, please ensure that your resume makes it clear why you are interested in the particular team you are applying to, as we prioritize followup with the most relevant candidates.

Wow – congrats!!

What have been the most important architectural decisions to achieve this?
I live in Southwark, and it's always astonishing how people don't wears masks around here.

Customers, Cashiers, Barbers...
Iceland, Off-license, Asda...

It's like people don't care at all. Only about 50% of people are wearing masks.

Sharp contrast with France where people need to wear masks all the time, and it's heavily enforced.

I don't expect the number of cases to go down TBH.
You can rearrange the order of the sections using the grab handles in the editor. Let me know if that helps!
On a tangential note, there's a clinical trial[1] currently underway for exploring the use of alcohol vapor inhalation (with aspirin) as a potential treatment for COVID-19.

The stock market and housing prices are higher than ever, so a large part of the population is doing good. Not just the elites have benefited from the spoils, people with retirement portfolios and paid-off houses are sitting nice and flush.
I'll address why one would listen: to learn about some ways not to be the epicenter of a pandemic ever again.
Giving terrorists the tools to kill US troops is morally ambiguous?
Thanks for this interesting bit of info. To be fair I think none of these issues has to have a union to solve it, its just the majority of tech companies are really not fixing these major issues and most likely will never fix them.

> but you also have a lot of low performing lifers counting their days to retirement

I see this as a huge issue with unions. But I feel you have the same folks in large tech companies, they fall into a large team, the company is profitable so its not looking for layoffs, the person/s fall under the radar and they contribute as little as possible.
Let’s not ignore biotech. It’s experiencing a tremendous boom in SV (and in the Berkeley-Emeryville area). It gets way less attention than Tesla and Facebook, for some reason... probably because its products and innovations are much harder to explain to the public. (Though that may be an overly cynical answer with regards to the media.)
Do you have any other ideas you recommend? I thought this mirror idea was brilliant!
If you get a bad dose and you can’t get a respirator you’re in big trouble. Guess what happens when there are so many sick that respirators run out. What happens when hospitals are overrun with patients with ‘mild’ symptoms? We’ve been talking about this for nine months and you’re still at the marginal deaths stage of reasoning. Do you need a picture drawn for you or something?
I believe that Brooks may be the oldest bike-related brand in continuous use.
n8n and Node-RED are both really neat! Over the break I built a little project that takes a different approach; for me the schleppy part of API integration is not usually the code but it's the infrastructure (where to host for cheap, with a simple deploy pipeline, maybe scheduled execution, etc). https://www.tabbydata.com/glue is a little thing I built so that I don't need to think about those things again.
Thanks. But wow, so it's that easy to be accidentally complicit...
The 12 Stages of Learning Clojure
Manufacturing coupled with enviro taxes is coming back to West.
You could also read some Tom Clancy back in the 1980s/90s, or countless spy novels, and get some pretty realistic and very scary sounding terrorism scenarios if you really wanted to. There's a lot of smart people who can think these things out, and do so for fun or professionally.

I guess we're lucky the amount of smart people who actually pull things off is quite low, almost close to zero percentage points world population wise. At least in the west.

I personally think the worse one in recent American history, besides 9/11 was the Las Vegas concert shooting. All that took was a half smart guy who operated alone, had plenty of personal resources, critically didn't tell anyone (OPSEC) mostly because he was already a loner, and also critically didn't have any exit plan. What's interesting about that one too is there was no clear motive either - at least none has come out in the years since the shootings.
I’ve found TrueNAS (previously FreeNAS) to be quite good and I’m surprised to see no mention of it in the article or this comment section.

I’ve had a pretty good experience running a basic NAS server for my family. It runs Plex well in a BSD jail and has a GUI that’s usable for everything I’ve needed so far. ZFS support made setting up a zraid pretty easy and it supports easy backups to a number of cloud providers. Of course it’s BSD so no native docker, but from what I’ve seen most people choose to run Docker in a vm instead of on native containers.

I’m thinking of trying out proxmox for my upcoming home server because I want to give GPU pass through a shot, but I’m definitely impressed with TrueNAS and would recommend it.
I don't think you're charging enough to afford a WAF.
> ...structured resume formats like FRESH...

I've never heard of this (FRESH), and am intrigued and interested. Would you kindly share some more info on this?
Leave the names of officials. Redact names your don't know, as was already suggested. Newspapers seem to have managed to do this just fine for ages.

If there issue is that high ranking officials aren't being held accountable, there's no reason to publish the names of some random agent.
I don't which is why I support socialized single-payer medicine.

However, to address your question more directly, contractors are employees as well. It's not the job site's responsibility to provide health insurance, it's their employers. Contractors still have employers, you know.
I'm 79, born in the mid-west, living in New England for the last 60 years. Worked in tech. I've never heard the word used except as in Def. 1.
It's in the commentary category. This isn't considered journalism.
Your straw-man argument hardly settles our debate.

If I decided that I could profitably use toxic-waste laden land, then yes of course I would still buy it and, yes of course, still not care because that's what due diligence is about.

Your liquor store sells alcohol that kills more people under the age of 30 than any other way...why aren't you standing in front of it demanding it shut down?
I love the fact that they're open and televising the fact that no fans are there. That really stops people from trying to pressure venues from "sneaking in".
> shows how niche development for that platform

Alternatively: GitHub is still, despite belief to the contrary on places like HN, not synonymous with open source, let alone the entire world of software development. Each is a (limited) projection of that world. When you speak of them together, you are referring to two things, each belonging to a distinctly identifiable milieu. What you're observing is that the overlap between them is small.
Have definitely been thinking about how to make sections more customizable as I'll never be able to make the defaults cover every use case. What bugs are you encountering?
The ABC's of Google’s New Union – Collective Action in Tech
I think that’s what he was getting at when he said:

> Most allowed are owned by large companies.

He was implying that big companies are not in the business of selling their extensions. Smaller actors are more susceptible to this.
I normally never have any RGB components in my personal builds but I was asked to build my niece a gaming rig for Christmas, figuring a kid would probably like a bit more of a blinged out system I sprung for RGB fans, RAM, water-cooler, and PSU and set them all to a light pink (the case is mint green, her other favorite color) and I have to say it turned me around on RGB lighting. It looked super clean and minimal once I tuned the brightness and color.

The only downsides I encountered were color matching among different components, it was a bit tedious. The other was the control software (gigabyte fusion 2.0) was very touchy, at one point I had to do a hard reset and wait for the caps to drain before I could get the LEDs functional again.

> The reason the US dollar is valuable worldwide is because if you run into trouble, you can use the US courts to be made whole, and if that doesn't work, assuming the dollar amount is high enough, the US military or Secret Service will use violence to make you whole again.

I have heard dollars are popular with crime orgs all the world over, who are unlikely to use or be able to use the dollars in US courts. Dollars are valued by people (and they exchange goods/services for it), and Americans need them to pay their taxes.

> If someone takes your Bitcoin

This is one big if, and it will still be prosecutable by courts, as evidenced by all the current legal cases about crypto theft.

> Same thing with the Euro and all the other major currencies (and even a lot of the minor ones). They have the threat of legal recourse and military violence back them.

Military might matters only so far as it defends the country and makes it possible to produce stuff that other people want. A lot of countries with good military might (e.g., North Korea) don't have valuable currencies.
No I think the parent is making up "plenty smokers" and "commonly known" to describe something that exists only in minority of cases.

It's unclear how cancer and mental health patients would be any better off with less sacrifices, that would lead to the health care system being more overwhelmed, not less.
I think you are lightweight endorsing them, not the other way around.
Like most things sold these days, it's not enough for it to work it has to be part of your identity. It has nothing to do with the function of the machine, but how it makes you feel and what it says about you as a person.

It's really not much different than any other hobby where people show off their work. Mechanical keyboard folks sometimes have many keyboards with all kinds of differences and I can't imagine they use most of them, but the design (combo of frame, keycaps, switches, etc.) gives them something to show off to others.

I just meant that I haven't made any efforts to keep google from snooping on me through that phone. So I get all the convenience of e.g. google screening my calls and waiting on hold for me, with all the associated privacy concerns, as opposed to the LineageOS device which I don't think has any google apps/services at all.

I do enjoy the 4a very much however, it's a great device.
Why not let everyone else sports to stay healthy and strengthen their immune systems, as well as get outside (where it's warm enough) and get the vitamin D they need?

Why should people who get paid a million get special treatment over those who are barely making it an unemployed? Being able to shoot some hoops seems more valuable for the 20 year old's mental health than watching some rich top-of-their class play in am empty stadium with cardboard cutouts.
Apple: Made by Foxconn, not in the US.
nVidia: Made by TSMC, not in the US.

Intel and Tesla are made in the US afaik, but even the hardware startups we do have still tend to manufacture abroad.
I do believe there is a market for such a service. But not at $25K per month. I can just hire my own full-time dev for less than that. I can hire an entire team in some locations for that amount.

I like this framing. This sounds a lot like how entrepreneurs should also look at failed companies rather than only successes.

One thing that every disliked union seems to have is the goal of permanence for the union itself. Maybe instead of having elected or long-term leaders in a permanent union, some should try a sortition process in a conference-like structure that reconvenes when enough employees vote to convene, then disbands until called upon again.
Yes I have. Have you? Eliminate poverty is not making everyone billionaires. Its getting rid of homelessness like tent farms in California. People are getting modern condos.

Btw it looks like yours is supporting Trump propaganda. Wow pot calls kettle black.

For Tesla, collecting self-driving training data as well as general fleet data. For Square, collecting transaction data to mitigate risk so that merchants worldwide can take payments. For Uber/Lyft predicting areas where there will be people needing rides to optimize transportation needs.

Agree, it is deliberately reductionist to provoke discussion about what we're not doing in SV.

What do you think we should be doing in SV in addition these technologies?
desktop literally built into the desk top

The Sun "pizza box" computer was like that.[1]

You could just bolt a 1U rackmount server to the underside of a desktop. Or get a desk that's 1.75 inches thick, cut a hole of the appropriate size, and recess the server into it. There are lots of under the desk computer mounts, but I haven't seen a recessed one.

Volunteer groups like findthemasks did, but in a get-PPE-to-hospitals context.

I am unaware of a US implementation of a direct copy of the Taiwanese webapp. In the US through at least May, health authorities were scrambling to get enough PPE to keep the healthcare system functional.
This happened on /r/conspiracy too, a person posted a pic of an old TV receiver board with COV-19 laser etched onto the RF receiver shield. No BGA chips and 100% surface mount made it a pretty obvious.

That's a bit of a reach.
> The idea that we can force humans into acting against their fundamental instincts to socialize is folly.

Do you really want to go down that road? Well, here we go: procreation is a fundamental human instinct. Do you want to legalize rape? Didn’t think so. You see how folly your argument is?
Limit the amouunt of pre-prepared alcohol that can be delivered to a house at one time. You shouldn't be an ondemand keg delivery at this point or delivering 2+ cases in one go.

Also part of the delivery portion of this is about supporting the pub/bar. Not the access to alcohol. (Otherwise you'd just go to the store)
Developers and Their Text Editors
Agreed. No man has the right to violently hinder free people from living free. My body is my property and not the property of the state.
The text editor, or IDE, is probably the developers' best friend. Is the editor almost like a ... family member?

Very nice!

So, in Safari on iOS 14, the view demo link brought me to a page that was mostly blank besides the name and picture. I turned on a screen recording to capture the bug, but then was unable to reproduce it (started the recording on this page and followed the link again.) I should have thought to screenshot the page before doing so, oh well! Maybe it was due to a failed XHR request for the profile data, if the pages are being rendered client-side.
That people (for reasons both educational and presentational) can't tell the difference is why journalism is dying.

Excess deaths globally for 2020 will end up being about 2.5%

Is that vast?
I was part of the early "agile" community back before that name existed. Occasionally I'll talk with somebody from back then and ask them how they think things turned out. The general answer is, "Well this isn't what we intended, so I've moved on to other things." Which is basically my answer too.

My best guess as to how the shark-jumping happened: http://agilefocus.com/2011/02/21/agiles-second-chasm-and-how...

The TL;DR version is that once it went mainstream, Agile was defined by the mainstream, which was not looking for excellence. Aided vigorously, of course, by the certification scam that is Scrum, where meaningless credentials were profitably bestowed by people who had little incentive to tighten things up. And one thing I've realize in ensuing years is that a key element was the culture of managerialism, which is inimical to anything that might make a manager look bad or diminish his empire.
The connection of more than one domain does not automatically discredit a conspiracy theory. While your elaboration on Bridgegate is creative, as the poster above mine mentioned, other conspiracies involving multiple domains have been found to be true or at least partially true. Epstein island, MkUltra, etc.

So the approach I would take would be to isolate each claim in a conspiracy and assign some weighted value to each claim. Connecting aliens to Bridgegate would be obviously a tiny fraction of a percentage of likely to be true. But if someone were to make the claim that Bridgegate was connected to payouts from a lobbyist firm or that Chris Christie was associated with Jeffrey Epstein, I wouldn't necessarily dismiss that claim outright. It would remain an unverified but reasonably possible claim that would need further info or investigation.
I'm thinking of simply truncating collaborators after a certain number and offering the ability to open the full list in a modal or something.
Well the return on investment is in fact greater than it appears for critical industries. It’s just that the upside is not entirely captured in dollars or RMB, or any other monetary currency for that matter.

So when people, who have been habituated to looking at numbers denominated in dollars, think about it they effectively have blinders on.
