I think we're about at the point where the people who predicted chaos at twitter after Elon basically fired most of the experienced engineers have been proven correct. The duct tape is all coming apart at the seams now.

It isn't quite as decisive as a submarine imploding, and ceasing to exist, but it has turned into a brightly burning tirefire.

I dunno. We are several months out after the major layoffs. Maybe some very recent bad decisions were made internally that pared back too far, but I think Musk has long since been proven correct that the core platform could function on a fraction of the workforce it had at the time of takeover.

It REALLY sounds like you don't understand how any of this works.

Tech products don't stop working when you fire most of the staff.

But bugs stop being fixed and problems begin to add up, until a critical point is reached,m where the whole house of cards collapses.

Thinking that "Elon was proven right" simply because Twitter didn't implode the second he announced the layoffs, makes me think you don't understand how tech and software works.

Pretty sure parent does

Plus there’s always technical debt and even the ‘best’ engineers at Twitter made mistakes

Maybe if the architecture wasn’t so brittle and more easily testable by these engineering ‘gods’ then we wouldn’t have this problem
