Countering @Euclid claim that @ElonMusk is not capable of implementing major changes with the current staff, i figured lets make a thread that will discuss Twitter updates under the current leadership (similar to the whatsapp discussion)

blue verification for a fee
business verification gold check
removed, device source
removed some scrap code to make it faster
added an edit option
(restored Donald J Trump)

Edit button was pre-Elon for Twitter Blue.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

There will definitely be future updates that were created pre-Elon but by documenting it’ll be easier to track. Most of his contributions at this point are not going to be from major code contributions, rather mainly strategic decisions, creating efficiencies, and minor code tweaks/contributions.

While I don't think this is big change (remember they have already changed the limit before, so the apparatus for this change was already in place. Could be just a config change, in theory), I do concede that it's a bigger feature add than I thought would be possible.
However, don't forget that when they released it - a large chunk of the system went down for most of the day yesterday. The stability of the backend, in general, seems very flaky; so yeah they're adding features - but I still have strong doubts about the viability of the system while adding features, IMO they're likely incurring a ton of tech debt to "finance" these changes, since they don't have the institutional knowledge anymore to properly architect.
I've been part of these shifts - where a company lays off most of their IT department and outsources the development, losing institutional knowledge: development continues but features are shoehorned into to wherever seems convenient with little concern about the long term effects. So development eventually tapers off into months (even year) long release cycles because there just so much tech debt that they can't make a even a "minor" change without breaking the whole system.

I'm with on the concept, but for someone as knowable about tech as Elon, it would be a rookie mistake to make..

Still waiting on the following features and changes that he announced

And I'm still waiting for my car to drive me coast to coast while I nap and make me money as part of the robocar fleet.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
