he can't read code lol
he's literally a software engineer
what does he mean by brittle and how does api affect the whole stack
he cant run a python script and all the code he wrote for paypal had to be rewritten
he literally paid people to get him into the US and build his first projects. he's as much an engineer as steve jobs.
it's all so tiresome.
>he's as much an engineer as steve jobs.
the difference is Jobs never memed himself as one, people just assumed he was because he founded Apple. If you watch Jobs old interviews and presentations he does very little actual bullshitting(other than slick story telling, sales, etc) unlike Musk who is 90% legit bullshit like "uhh yeah ahhh I think we'll be living on Mars in 5 years yeah uhh"
He's literally not.
He is not a programmer, he is not a software engineer, he's just an entrepreneur who likes to take credit for projects he involves himself in.
You never been at a company where there's a bottleneck where everything has to run through some shitty spaghetti legacy code using a framework that hasn't been used for a decade?
Then say so in your post, Elon.

>literal space rockets from scratch

>connected to each other with laser links and to the ground with phased array antennas
>Space X = green field project with no users, handful of uber-large customers, all they really have to do is keep meet their engineering and launch targets while putting in R&D on the tech side.
>Twitter = legacy project, mountains of spaghetti code, running at a loss, worst user base on the planet, bunch of jumpy customers, very public so every minor issue is magnified
Twitter is a nightmare fuel project and anybody who wanted to take it on was a moron.
needs more PHP it seems
>i would never make a mistake, also i have to justify why i fired everybody by making site go down (please like and boost)
He needed to pretend he's going to sort everything out, even if everything was already working as intended
>thing works
>nothing needs to be done
>fires all the now unnecessary workers
>his next idea is to rewrite everything because... uh... because the code stack is LE BRITTLE
he's a fucking idiot
Actually kys. You’re the kind of manager devs hate to work under because you fundamentally don’t understand business or software development.
>noooooo you can't just recap Musk's contradicting arguments in the same post to show that he's an idiot because... you just don't understand it!!!
elontards are beyond deranged
you're fucking retarded. i worked for a while at one of the faggy faang companies, and the codebase is so fucking bloated and has so fucking many layers of ridiculous abstraction...things that were added by non-continuous teams stepping over each other and fucking shit up. something as simple s just adding a border around a new image element takes about 2 weeks to implement because of all the other retarded shit that re-uses the same codepath that might be affected and so 18 million meetings have to be set up and attended and discussions have to be paused because the one retarded engineer who worked on that one thing that is definitely gonna be affected couldn't make the meeting at the last minute.
brittle...yeah, it's all brittle as fuck. not fun at all.
the only *sane* way forward is to do a complete code re-write.
skill issue
architecture issue
This.
Typical first move of a retard manager who only got the position because his daddy owns the company or something.
he sounds like every junior who hasn't yet had the realisation his fellow wageslaves don't care about code quality
The punk kid team lead, who tried to crash Musk's call with his asspain, that left for Netflix and year before Musk happened left Twitter with spaghetti code.
Who are you talking about?
>itt
>seething poorfags
>He forgot both the web client and mobile client leverages the API to serve content
>AGAIN
This is like the 4th time in just a few months
Thank you OP. We needed a new Twitter screenshot thread. Bonus that it's Twitter Man Elon himself so we can have productive discussions in the thread.
> a small API change had massive ramifications.
we have removed all process around gated deployments and integration tests against our endpoints, so an easily-caught bug broke prod and forced an emergency rollback.
> the code stack is extremely brittle for no good reason.
i do not understand how the product works, and i've fired or pushed out anyone who did.
> will ultimately need a complete rewrite.
you can expect that incremental improvements to the product will be halted in favor of my ego project.
Twitter runs on a spaghetti mess of distributed services. It's very foundation is bottlenecked to the core. A "rewrite" would mean disabling services or replacing them inhouse.
it must be really easy to be the tesla engineer who's advising musk. first he convinced musk that all the old twitter engineers were incompetent. now everything that happens from now on is not his problem.
He has never personally worked on a very large codebase so the doesn't understand that this is always the case and the only way (and proper way) to prevent this is to have tests for everything. If you break something, the test will show that before you release it to the public.
>twitter screencap thread
tranny greentext post
Boy I sure do love Elon Musk and threads about his company (Twitter) on this board. What a great place to discuss tech. I definitely won't sage
It's a thread about a programming change to an enterprise tech stack. You're the one obsessed about Elon. Die slow tranny freak.
I'm a 6'2" white male with more testosterone in a single ball than you have in your entire body. This thread is garbage and you're probably fat. Go to the gym
youre a tranny shitskin
Fatty cope
Post body
It means
>The person/team who knew this was a bad idea either left or was sacked, and I'm covering my ass.
Source: I've seen this happen before.
thank you elon
this is how i can afford rent doing bug bounties
He paid $44 billion for a website that he now wants to rewrite from scratch
The value is only in that they own the market.
The code is probably not worth anything.
Old code bad, new code good
he's still waiting for those ISO timestamps, just like op is still waiting for life progress
GALCTUS
God could you imagine what that codebase looks like after 16 years of being maintained by pajeets and bootcamp girlbosses?
I thought those people were fired because they literally didn't do anything though? how could they break the code without writing a line of code??
No the pajeets and girlbosses are the only ones left. Haven't you seen the staff photos? Once he started talking about sleeping under desks and putting in 100 hour weeks everyone else bailed. The shitters that made this spaghetti are the ones left stuck with it.
Found it. Here's your 2023 twitter staff, bro.
oh no no no
guarantee he told them all to keep their mouths closed
based. did he get that idea from jonathan blow or curtis yarvin?
rewrite everything in Fortran, be a man for once
>c-level wants to pretend he has a real job
>starts ordering devs around
>nobody wants to tell him that his ideas are retarded because they'll get fired
>push to production
>fuckitwelldoitlive.gif
>shit breaks
>c-level blames the codebase for his fuckups
>promises more fuckups in the future
many such cases
Can someone who is not tranny or leftoid homosexual explain this in short? What is going on?
Incompetent Twitter staff made API changes that broke the entire site.
Trannies blame Elon.
Thank you frens. Much appreciated.
api is used by *many* parts of the app. if you make a change to the api that requires *all* of those parts to be updated, then the app breaks.
most of the time, if you make a change to the api, you do so in a way that doesn't require those other parts to change the way it calls the api, then you're fine. but, every once in a while (especially when you're trying to change something fundamental), you have to make a substantial change that means everything has to be updated.
musk is making significant changes to the way the homosexuals made twitter work, and so things are gonna break from time to time.
you want to bet they changed an existing interface instead of publishing a new version because he's too stupid to understand versioning
Probably
tbdesu. I've seen the same shit pretty much to the letter when my company was bought by Oracle.
>fires all the programmers
>"le code is le brittle for le no good reason"
What did he mean by this?
>need new rewrite
make it as lean as nitter pls. what a bloated mess.
There's almost nobody in the webdev industry who can make light weight architecturally-minimalist websites like Nitter. Only hobbyists can do that, big companies like Twitter are the last place you'll find someone like that from.
every junior dev has made a twitter clone tho
90% of junior devs can't even do fizzbuzz.
and yet they've made a twitter clone. legit easier than fizzbuzz.
Nitter is just a front end for Twitter, they don’t have anything to do with how the API works. They just throw the output into their own html/css
Yes, and almost nobody can do that. Most webdevs can't make websites without importing 17 frameworks and following every clean code principle to make the most inconvenient and bloated pile of shit that breaks if you don't use vanilla Google Chrome with javascript enabled.
>t, nocoder
Nitter is a trivial bit of software.
>Nitter is a trivial bit of software.
Yes, and almost nobody can do that.
What are the chances they will rewrite it in Rust?
Surely it’s the "brittle" code that is at fault, and not the fact he sacked 80% of staff.
he thinks his API should have fallbacks for the fallbacks and alternative APIs.. so if he randomly deletes one or completely changes it, everything should somehow still work
>as it turns out all that shit we ripped out of the stack had a purpose and now anything we do fucks it up
I pirated Twitter.
I'm glad that this whole Twitter saga is so public. I've never felt more secure in my job.
>Fire most people that work on the codebase
>Destroy the will of the remaining ones
>Break the infrastructure
>Complain everything is broken
>Plan to rewrite everything with the remaining low-motivation people
There is no way this can go wrong, obviously.
Hopefully Elon actually kills Twitter successfully.
> will ultimately need a complete rewrite
aka, they fired the guys who know how the whole thing worked
1000 pajeets at a 1000 keyboards eventually created and maintained Twitter.
>Makes unrealistic promises he never delivers on
>Rugpulls
Classic Musk
when elon said he was going to make twitter "much faster" he really just meant its turnover rate lol lmao
RIP to all my gachafags with twitter linked accounts
can't he get the gigahacker 10x engineer geohotz to fix that shit? isn't he a intern @ twitter?
geohotz jacked me off in the toilets at twitter. he made eye contact the whole time which i thought was really weird. yeah i showed him my dick and my scala code and he didnt know how to work either.
he quit a long time ago
Xe quit November last year after failing spectacularly. In xir 2 month long internship the only thing xe ended up doing was slightly add a close button to the “sign in to keep reading” pop up so those without an account could keep reading. Also threadly reminder xe did it for free.
>xe did it for free
source?
i think he quit because of
not leet enough for him.
did anyone listen to this? might be funny
>Elon Musk joins George Hotz’s Twitter Space to discuss software stacks and Twitter
>Gets asked what his plans are regarding the architecture and how to improve
>Uhhh....UHM...a rewrite
>Damn Elon that's pretty retarded because x, y and z
>Nuh uh! YOU'RE retarded!
That's basically the gist of it kek
hey dude, you want sum crusty old pucci?
kek wtf geohotz deleted all his tweets
https://nitter.nl/realGeorgeHotz
it's simple. here's what happened:
>twitter had free api, easy to scrape data
>twitter makes api paid in twitter man money grab maneuver
>people start using the internal api the official website uses to scrape data instead because fuck you lmao
>he hears about this
>storms into office of whatever """engineers""" still exist at the company
>demands the internal API be shut down and paywalled immediately
>"b..b..but sir that will break our webs-"
>"YOU'RE FIRED! ANY MORE COMPLAINERS? DO IT!!"
>website breaks
>"this code is so brittle for no good reason lmao it wasn't my fault"
it's simple, here's what really happened:
>elon musk shits on his hand
>throws it at the wall
>""engineers"" braid their pubes into a thick rope
>elon musk grabs a hold of the pube rope with both hands
>lifts his body onto the rope
>Raj's nutsack is steady enough to support the weight of one Elon Musk
>Raj sways his ballsack and begins to swing Elon Musk
>Elon is builds momentum, swinging back and forth and is finally catapulted into a wall of his own excrement
>Elon peels off his face from his own thick greasy turds
>Raj looks at Elon in disgust
>Elon is in shit face
>That's cultural appropriation
>Elon is cancelled
>Twitter is shut down
>Open the door
>Get on the floor
>Everybody walk the dinosaur

Small changes that shouldn't break thinks are breaking things. Stop being autistic.
