Perfect example of why you don’t just fire all your senior engineers.

You can’t debug and root cause if you do. So you end up adding hacky point fixes

I definitely agree. I do think the major issue at Twitter is more managerial than engineering though. They likely could have run Twitter at the same output with the current team. The problem is a CEO who is learning on the job by altering basically everything at a superfast pace.

The root cause is business & feature experimentation at scale with a tight runway & no executive oversight.

To say he's learning on the job is speculation on your part. He's on the job, I'll give you that.

I mean, I'll give you that, I did chuckle. Frankly, this whole thing is a huge debacle and I can only imagine the context switch penalty being paid going from cars, to ISP, to rockets to Twitter. That said, I personally am astounded by Elon's tenacity. I would definitely not bet against it succeeding, but im not sure I'd bet on its success. If I had to choose though, I would bet on success at like 49/51 odds
