Lot of hot takes on here, alot of them incorrect or misguided.
Most of you only understand Twitter from your own user experience. Elon was the same way and his actions thus far have proved to be rash, short sighted, and made without enough critical thinking or collaboration from internal stakeholders. (I heard him talk first hand to us employees about why he wanted to buy Twitter....and it was clear he didn't know WTF he was buying)
Yes, the site and app still works. But also, the codebase is locked so no one can make updates until Elon lifts the freeze. There are marketing and advertising initiatives that were in the pipeline for World Cup that are likely frozen or trashed, and now have no one to support. Entire engineering teams resigned last night. I'm willing to bet entire SRE teams did as well.
I'm hearing rumors of the payroll and tax teams resigning as well.
In a normal company, you bring in new employees to learn from existing employees as you churn the workforce. In this instance, having 3 big hits to the workforce (50% cut 2 weeks ago, 4000 contractors fired on Saturday, voluntary resignations yesterday) and there's slim to zero chance of any kind of meaningful knowledge transfer.
Some of yall making wild statements that i'd expect from the Elon/Crypto/Russian bot accounts on Twitter.
It has to be that four eyed fakkit Patsy Parisi. I’m still not over it, brehs.
Just bigging up my brother.
