Without more details, I'm going to hypothesize that these are just the sort of routine improvements and performance wins that such teams deploy on a semi-regular basis. Anything can be called a "significant architecture change" if you want it to be.
If it is in fact a very major change, though, it was probably in the pipeline long before Elon arrived, given the time it takes to develop and fully test such things. It's quite possible that the past couple months were spent entirely on testing and refining a large-scale change that had already been mostly complete pre-acquisition.
- ratsmack 4y agoI think Elon is being more aggressive in pushing out changes. Many times companies get the "don't rock the boat" mentality for fear of breaking something, and feel that what they have is good enough.
- jasonhansel 4y ago> I think Elon is being more aggressive in pushing out changes. What evidence do we have for this? He's pushed aggressively for a few specific features, but we don't know how much of the work was done before the layoffs, whether that pace of development is sustainable, and whether it extends beyond his pet projects.
