Can we please recognize that this is a holiday weekend and Elon rammed a big release forcing his engineers to come in and iterate multiple patches over the last 12 hours.

The arrogance of the guy is so huge, hubris does not touch him. Thoughts are with the programmers.

What I’m more surprised about is how gum and shoestring the twitter engineering is now a days. They put in no emphasis on doing deep divides into the code base and instead opt to do the simplest shortest fix. And it causes problems.

Often the simplest shortest fix is the result of management’s directives. “We need this thing done yesterday” leads to the shortest fix, which compounds over time. Then the same managers wonder why it’s so hard to make changes or implement things in the future, without understanding their insistence on taking the path of least resistance is the direct cause.
