Well this article is a bit click baity. The original article they reference is from 2012 and talks about the API changes and Twitter's choice to shut down apps it feels are competing with its own app. All I got out of the current article was Jack trying to woo developers back without any hint of what exactly they're changing to be more developer friendly. If I was burned by them in 2012, I doubt this would get rid of any lingering doubts I had about working on their platform.
