At the moment Musk didn't fix anything but he removed the safety net. Like removing all fire extinguishers doesn't mean your house will burn tomorrow.

It won't fail immediately but at the first major problem it will get interesting.



Did you see the UI regression withthe oddly bold menu on Twitter? That's a stove that wasn't turned off.


Oh no! An "oddly bold" menu! How will Twitter ever recover?


The issue isn't that a menu was bold, but that no one in the test chain caught it. One reason being that chain is mostly not there anymore. That suggests other less visible, and more important slip-ups are happening, and will be happening.


Or it was a known regression that was deemed acceptable because the company is now moving quickly on priorities that actually matter?

So many assumptions you have to make to get from "Twitter shipped a minor css bug" to "Twitter as a web service is going to come imminently crashing down".

Shitposting and unbanning accounts?

I'm taking it as a data point together with other similar data points and building a picture. Twitter is full of weird little issues lately. Like the trends turning into a hilarious list of generic words... not signifying any trend at all: https://twitter.com/Whatapityonyou/status/159611539631859712...

You are indeed an idiot. I imagine you meticulously recording minor changes to the website and I can't stop laughing.

I'm sure your predictions of IMMINENT DOOM will materialize any day now. You should make a sign and stand in the middle of Times Square. You'd be in good company.


You assume as much. Assumptions are interesting things. They often assume too little or assume too much, and are based on subjective beliefs instead of objective facts.
