But I don't believe on that because Twitter is a billion dollar company and that kind of mistake is dumb. So idk.
This sort of mistake is very common especially when a product is going through a period of change, so it seems very believable to me that recent rate limiting features (or older features that have not been used in a long time or maybe ever) on the backend hadn't been adequately tested to make sure there are no unforeseen side-effects on the front-end when they are activated under pressure.
Isn't Elon supposed to know this shit himself?
I guess we learned alot about the state of the company as well as elons own coding skills with this event, didn't we?
I'd say that shortly after Elon bought it twitter effectively became a start-up rather than an established company.
Arguing otherwise is like saying Xerox Park would have been the exact same institution even if all the staff were swapped with interns and management fundamentally change mission statements etc.....
Kind of absurd when framed that way, huh?
Probably twitter can even do worse.
