I know he is a polarising figure and gets a lot of blind hate or blind support. But as someone that uses twitter sporadically I do seem to feel that twitter is now faster. I think twitter did have a problem that the people that were running it were not heavy twitter users so did not care about making it better for twitter users. If nothing else I think twitter tech will now improve but twitter being financially viable is another question.
- senttoschool 4y agoI feel like it's been slower. It's not clear if the 400ms improvement is from before the takeover or after. Elon did not elaborate. Also, I've been seeing way more spam. Obvious spam. Nearly every crypto post is followed by at least 1 spam message. Sometimes all comments are spam. I don't remember it being this bad before.

- nullish_signal 4y agoIn a YouTube video, the Starbase Tour with Elon Musk, he reveals a core Engineering principle: Compare our Rocket Manufacturing Process Costs with a Genie that can Magically turn Sheet Steel into Rockets for $0. This silly excercise helps you spot wasteful processes that do not meaningfully contribute to a cost-effective end product. In Twitter's case, Musk mentioned that "A Twitter Home Tab load is about 100 poorly-batched RPC calls " and so I think there is a lot of room to get Twitter data-logistics a LOT closer to a Genie that magically delivers tweets for free. Next - Maybe Musk can take a look at the under-performing Online of Nintendo's Animal Crossing New Horizons, and Splatoon 3
