> It seems perfectly reasonable for Elon to bring in some people he knows he can trust to help evaluate how Twitter actually works. But the first step wouldn’t be looking at code. With a system this complex, you’d never make meaningful progress with a bottom-up approach. > I don't see anything wrong with printing out code either Firstly, this isn’t a competitive programming contest. It is trivial and much more effective to use a code browsing tool. There is no universe where printing code would be the right decision. Secondly, how does asking engineers to print their “recent code” help with understanding how Twitter works?
