Or it indicates a crazy CEO that has his people overworked and literally sleeping at the office.
Well, and no one likes it (myself included), but that's also not out of the ordinary for Elon.

Right, I don't know anything. My company doesn't have Uber.com as a customer, run part of their infrastructure, and built part of their website. We don't help companies setup datacenters, program their core routers, or setup their monitoring systems. /s
Twitter's code, a lot of it is in PHP. That's non-compiled code that anyone can see how it runs when it loads in a browser or on an app.
Anything else to say, troll?
With many good people you can certainly hold things together.... for a while.. but having been a "boss" for a long time, that's not only a short-term solution, but a shortsighted one too. I'm not saying you agree with it, just that people can only stand so much chaos. And I'm sure Twitter has very talented people who could go anywhere else.Well, and no one likes it (myself included), but that's also not out of the ordinary for Elon.
A company’s motivation is to make profits. Anything else is a violation of their fiduciary responsibility. That is the harsh and unfortunate truth.You would not question their motivations? They didn't want to do something until they were forced to?
You don't question VW's motivations for dieselgate and emissions cheating? IIRC Dodge did the same thing as well.
That confirmation is pretty scary when his companies are developing automated cars and brain surgeries.Doesn't matter if it's what you would do, or if you agree with it. It's simply his known method of operation for SW development.

It’s like when Tesla releases poor build-quality vehicles to their customers. It’s more profitable for them to let the customer discover the faults (and perhaps accept the faults as-is without going through the trouble of getting them repaired) than to hire inspectors and more mechanics, or even to improve the assembly line.
2) Elon's fired 75% of the company, and despite the naysayers here and elsewhere, the company hasn't died and in just 2 months has released more features than Twitter had released in 5 years

This is nonsense. Tesla's software update process is pretty amazingly excellent. It is exceedingly rare for them to break anything safety related. And everything else that sometimes breaks is simply not a big deal, at worst an annoyance.Sounds like Tesla's software release process. Tesla's SW dev process is like a bunch of grad students working on a research project who push out changes to the UI without even thinking about the consequences of what they're doing. I'm surprised that they managed to actually get the holiday release out this year without breaking anything major.
Calling stupid decisions that dont disrupt fails is dumb. Not to mention just being a right wing troll doesnt nothing to change Twitter, doesnt bring in new revenue streams, doesnt cut costs, doesnt attract talent. Saying Elon has done wonderous thing at Twitter without evidence is just propaganda. Like saying we have gotten rid of the bots then saying a poll was manipulated by bots is well an oxymoron.Simple question:
Did you read, when Elon bought Twitter, that he said along the lines of "you will see us make many changes, and some will fail, and you will see those failures corrected."?
This is completely in line with his high iterative SW Dev that was used on Paypal and at Tesla. Don't be afraid to fail, even on public facing code.
Can you find me the labor survey post Twitter offer and takeover? We know in 2020 SpaceX and Tesla were top two destinations. I dont recall seeing 2021 and well you know 2022 isnt even over yet.Well, there is also the "flushing out" of people that don't agree with Elon and his vision. I would not be surprised to see Twitter headcount grow over time.
But if Elon was as bad as you say, SpaceX and Tesla would not be the top two destinations for engineers, per labor surveys year in and year out.
And people think it is some sort of good idea for Twitter to become sort of financial and payments company.If it was an error, fine. I realize the world is not perfect. But then it means that they are pushing out updates without checking their work. Sloppy. All of these "updates" which get quickly reversed suggest a problem. What's the rush?
The screw-ups are part of the plan. If they're not screwing up they're moving too slow.
Let's see:This is nonsense. Tesla's software update process is pretty amazingly excellent. It is exceedingly rare for them to break anything safety related. And everything else that sometimes breaks is simply not a big deal, at worst an annoyance.
What do you think would happen if Boeing suddenly started moving controls around in the cockpit and didn't require pilots to go through training that makes sure they're aware of where the controls moved? And that's if the changes didn't actually cause incidents or crashes.There's a really simple solution if you insist on nothing ever getting worse -- never update.
And there is absolutely no doubt that Tesla could make sure that updates never broke anything. All they would have to do is slow down. But I know of nobody who would be happy if Tesla put out updates at half the pace in order to QA them better. People want their improvements *now*.
Actually, people who pay attention know that it's now "Accelerating the World's Transition to Sustainable Energy". Says so, right at the top of this web page: About | TeslaActually, that's not Tesla's mission statement, and most investors know it. The stated mission statement is to "accelerate the transition to sustainable transport"
Good thing you have that option. Maybe now you'll read the manual, learn how to use the car, and be comfortable that it won't change until you choose to update.I will not beta test Tesla's software for free.
It is definitely amazing in the auto industry .... may be average for the tech industry.This is nonsense. Tesla's software update process is pretty amazingly excellent. It is exceedingly rare for them to break anything safety related. And everything else that sometimes breaks is simply not a big deal, at worst an annoyance.
Reminds me of when the wise people on the interwebs used to claim nobody tests anything at MSFT .... when we had over 10k people testing Windows.Sounds like Tesla's software release process. Tesla's SW dev process is like a bunch of grad students working on a research project who push out changes to the UI without even thinking about the consequences of what they're doing. I'm surprised that they managed to actually get the holiday release out this year without breaking anything major.
Wait .... do you have FSD Beta ?I will not beta test Tesla's software for free.

There is a difference between developing and testing new ideas that are carefully thought out and making random rash decisions that are immediately shown to be stupid and have to be reversed.
Then, respectfully, we'll agree to disagree.
For me, the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. Twitter is down 75% of their employees, yet the service is up, and by accounts is growing. That does indicate a high degree of overstaffing. They also have pushed out new features, you don't do that if you are understaffed and things are on fire and the company is going down the toilet.
