these are the clowns running the circus. they have no clue

elon: "we need to rewrite everything in this crazy stack."

guy: "what exactly is so 'crazy' about the twitter stack that necessitates a complete rewrite?"

elon: "goodbye. what a moron."

"Listening to this Twitter Spaces where Elon is talking about the tech stack and it's clear that no one has been in a position to actually ask him a follow up question in years. He thinks he knows everything and simply will not abide someone contradicting that notion.

Right after I sent this he demanded someone be cut off because he was pointing out correctly how ads work on the internet. Literally just said "cut him off"

Pretty funny thread in which OP backpedals for 12 hours. Hotz is a transparent clout goblin who couldn't hack it as an engineer, very sad!

Who wants to bet that "weird political defenses" were things like "that's a legal requirement in X countries".

Can't imagine why they wouldn't be excited about changing around everything after losing like 90% of their workforce that's actually capable of implementing large changes, and no desire to take on a FUCKING GIANT workload when there's basically nobody left with the knowledge to fix shit when Elon's rushed changes and demands inevitably cause shit to catch fire.

elon: I think frankly if we're gonna have a really high velocity of features I uh uh think we need to do just a total rewrite of the whole thing. You know, um

idg (former twitter dev): Wait, seriously, a total rewrite, that's your prediction for velocity?

elon: Yeah.

idg: Well, when you say a total rewrite, do you mean starting with a skeleton, or a bunch of engineers sit down with a whiteboard and say "what is twitter?"

elon: Uh, <silence>

idg: Revolution or reform?
