It would be hilarious if Twitter used a footgun to disable API access and blocked itself. The deadline was this week, right?

  I believe that they have a number of internal systems that were relying on the ability to consume the public API "firehose" and now that it's been turned off, they're failing.

    That smells like a big antipattern.

      Dogfooding is an antipattern now?

      No it's the opposite, it's exactly what you should do to exercise your public API. If your API isn't good enough for you it isn't good enough for your external integrators.

    is this someone close to twitter’s inner workings? if not, can we stop pretending that random people have insight as to what is happening at twitter.

      Given how many people they've fired, the people with the most insight here are random people.

      Nope, he’s indicated in past Tweets that he’s at Google.

  Tweetdeck (which is a Twitter product) stopped working yesterday. My API access is still OK for now.

  Don't worry. Once Musk transitions to leading software & servers teams these embarrassments won't happen anymore!
