- DustinEchoes 8mo agoYes, the head of product dev recently bragged about only having 30 engineers.

That said, X is a complete dumpster fire where I want to pour Clorox into my eyes after 30 seconds. I miss being plugged into a 24/7 feed of professional reporters, and at the same time - thank you, Elon, for fixing my addiction.
