So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX **Threadbans in OP**

If Leader says its true , then it must be true

This is a good thing , right?

It was going to crash and burn at some stage He either makes it profitable or it fails. Judging by the job losses there was a very large layer of fat and only a bit of meat.

That may be true but advertisers kept it on life support. They have pulled now due to a change in management. Shows exactly the reason they were supporting it. They were not worried about 300 troll accounts saying the Nword. There has been no explosion of hate speech or racist sentiments. They are worried that a more balanced amount of content.

Oh I take your point If they actually fired the meat like most of all the Engineers and Software devs. But you don't need stuff like human rights departments. Things tend to cost along as you say due to software tools Updates Plugin updates are not done. This is why the engineers and software devs are so important. You don't hit auto update in the real world outside your home system. You need these teams to pour over the new release read the documentation and see if it could break something. Ofc as people have pointed out large deployed systems with multiple layers can just fail over time Could be as simple as knowing there is a memory leak in a particular plugin for example. There will be a guy who knows that and know the plugin will stay stable for 1 month say. Just spit balling there. It's incredibly complex. And also you need to remember Sneaky software developers tend to design in things they only can fix easily and keep the old job. It's generally not malicious but good for them for job stability.

Like take something that I mentioned about Jpegs. The code/plugin dealing with this will probably not be called Jpeg. It will be a name a guy/girl who created it calls it. There are tones of stuff like that not written down Someone also pointed that out people tend to hate documenting stuff. It's a pain in the A*s. It also means you could be replaced if it's actually really specific and any dev could do.

I dunno did that airline get a lot of free publicity from the ahem woman on a desk with a plane. 😁

Is kinda my whole point their not actually developing the software apart from their end. Say Microsoft releases an update even with their due diligence once it's out in the wild issues can occur. Using Microsoft as an example Could be Linux, Unix anything you want. Devs on there end if not fired will be able to fix it.

Elon never fired anyone personally he would have looked to HR asked and also taken into account the fat being cut from the other guy. All tech companies at the moment are shedding staff. Twitter was a none viable company some seem to forget that. it was propped up by advertising that liked how the platform was run nothing more. It will fail or survive it's that simple.

Well I'm no software dev I would have assumed a migration to C# ? well back in the former company.
