Ad revenue diversified away from Twitter, and Musk is desperately trying to get any cashflow he can while refusing to pay bills
>Introduced breaking changes to accustom the user base to faster development
Why is this a good thing, on any planet? "We broke shit on purpose so that you would be used to us breaking shit regularly"
>Shrunk a bloated team to die-hards via whaling-and-culling
This is a weird way to say "fired anyone who told him that he was being dumb"
>Not least, open sourced some recommender system code
No he didn't. This one irks me so much. I work with machine learning models every day, and if you were familiar with working with ML, you would easily recognize what was "open sourced" (it's just source available) as just the basic scaffolding code AROUND the model. It would be like if you said you were going to open source your excel spreadsheet of important data, and you just put up the code for OpenOffice on github. You didn't "open source" anything that matters, and certainly not "the algorithm"
