An illusion of shadowbanning is kind of glitch I'd expect to see if trying to address cross-domain changes and touch silo'd SOA/MS systems.

Intersection of team dynamics & system architecture is what I obsess over. So I may have a bias. (e.g. Could also be an inside job, etc.)

I don't envy the person tasked with trying to do automated integration tests of these systems at scale. Cache pollution is insidious.

Lack of pop CS ==> s/w consumers have no calibration for true complexity. App UI complexity range is low. Can't tell paper planes/747s apart

how the hell are you finding ancient tweets by me? Are you trying to trap me in damaging self-contradictions? I deny it all.
Replying to
I don't see them as contradictory, more as elaborations on a theme. :o

I search to find ones in my memory ("hey, vgr is doing cool stuff on conspiracies!). twitter doesn't default to live ones: serendipity.

I search *a lot*. Ref: exploring the past twitter.com/ultimape/statu; I try to use twitter as slow-hunch generator
