Seems more like a challenge he can use to get rid of the lowest performers. If the organization is thoroughly corrupt, you can't exactly go by past Performance Reviews to compare workers. He probably knows the first version will be half-assed but wants to see what they can do.
lmao no it works the opposite way, the key is to be politically connected well enough to avoid being assigned to the disaster project to begin with. This means spending like 99% doing non-stop gossipping and politicking and avoiding doing any actual work that you might be held responsible for.
I’m an engineering lead at a large organization. I know exactly what kind of artificial barriers can be created to stop this kind of work. Architecture review boards, infrastructure police, all sorts of nonsense.
The engineering seems like displaying a GIF based on a boolean (in a database). And already done AFAIK. Maybe they need better internal tools for flipping that boolean?
The human engineering is what I'd worry about. Whatever they have been doing to verify blue-checks has probably been low volume.
This is either going to work exactly as planned or fail so spectacularly that credit card companies will have to clean up charge errors.
I have no doubts that it can be done.
But it sure as hell isn't going to be done well.

This. Plus it gives him extra excuses to remove the problem employees.

Okay that lowers the difficulty a couple steps.
If the organization cannot make this simple change in a week it needs to be dissolved.
It’s an aggressive target to be sure, but it will separate the hand wringing meeting engineers from the people who can get stuff done.
lol
I enjoy watching twitter be destroyed, but let's not b.s. about this being some magical fairy b.s.
The people who win are those with political connections to hear about the project and avoid being on it to begin with.

None of it helps the product.
