Yeah that's wild, so you have like maybe 80-150 lines per shot to prove your worth. What is he looking for, algorithm interview tricks like a quick sort or graph traversal? He's in for a shock when he learns most coding isn't what is done in interviews--I bet most Twitter engineer's best work would look like some ugly tangle of complex syncronization logic to allow highly parallel processing. Fast, efficient code isn't always nice to look at or read.

I doubt he's firing anyone at this point. Just looking to see how does what and talk with them about their impact. The code examples are just to get the ball rolling. Basically everyone in leadership at twitter is gone, Musk needs to figure out who can be trusted to keep things from collapsing, not who to fire.
