Wow they used real servers. That goes pretty well with their lack of a dev/test environment. And they had hard coded references to infrastructure, because they were always in a hurry improving their product. Extending that character limit took 500k engineering person years, including the devops team. Great job!
Really, Musk sounds like an amusing guy to work with. "Fuck, let's do it" is an attitude more execs should take.
- busterarm 3y agoYou really shouldn't be downvoted this much. Twitter has been one of the most expensive human undertakings in history and it's just so mediocre. If it isn't actually harmful to us. In fact since Musk bought it, people have been tripping over each other rushing to proclaim just how mediocre and unnecessary it is. So much so that they don't even need it anymore. And yet when anyone points this out, these same people expend an enormous amount of energy pillorying that person and shouting incoherences about Musk.
