developers who use the publicly available API can't use that
The point is that saying there's no API is wrong. There is an API. Elon has chosen not to let developers outside of Twitter use it. It's clearly a political choice rather than a technical competence problem.
- anigbrowl 4y agoThat's like saying that my front door isn't shut because the doors to rooms inside are open. When people say 'API' they mean the public-facing endpoints, not the internal ones that are only accessible to Twitter's developers.
- ncallaway 4y agoIt doesn’t have to be a technical competence problem. It could easily be a business competence problem.
- rsynnott 4y agoI mean ultimately it’s all semantics, but the idea that a private API is not an API proper is not exactly unusual. It’s more a business competence than a technical competence issue, likely (unless he’s actually attempting to have a direct technical role, in which case it is Dunning-Kruger made manifest).
