I agree, but is Twitter really suffering with any engineering problems? I generally would like to see a CTO come in charge but here's a unique case where someone from product might be more suitable.
- freediver 5y agoUsing their API is still a nightmare.
- DrBenCarson 5y agoThat's still fundamentally a product problem unless you're having issues with the API's behavior (vs its design)
- freediver 5y agoI agree, just think that a developer-first culture would not allow it to happen.
- bern4444 5y agoTwitter recently rolled out full support for their v2 API along with improvements to the usage policy, and the ability to get started quickly with essential access. What issues do you have with the API?
- 8K832d7tNmiQ 5y agoTheir web video player is still horrendously bad and still haven't fix their buffering problem for years.
- moffkalast 5y agoIf I had a dollar for every pixel I see in twitter videos I'd have two dollars which isn't a lot but it's weird that they still somehow call them videos.
- riffic 5y agoyes, Twitter is crawling with bugs and problems of scale (with an obvious lack of user support). see /r/twitter for a summary of issues people see on a day to day basis.
- _hyn3 5y agoIn that case, why would it make any sense to promote the person who was ostensibly most responsible for curing those ills?
- riffic 5y agoyou ever hear the theory about failing upwards? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle edit: I think I got it wrong. maybe this is a closer fit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putt%27s_Law_and_the_Successful_Technocrat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putt%27s_Law_and_the_Successfu...
