It's interesting seeing the predictions come true. I was slightly nervous when Elon fired 90% of twitter staff and the site kept working. If stuff never broke, then empirically, firing 90% of your staff seems to be a good idea.<p>But now stuff is breaking each week, and it's evident that maybe it wasn't the best idea.
Apart from this, that has left the timeline completely broken, has anyone else noticed that the timeline on mobile doesn't auto-update anymore? It's often out of date and I have to refresh it manually, which I didn't use to. Maybe a hardcore measure to save server capacity?
Symptom: you can't see the timeline. It shows "welcome to twitter!".<p>Search works half-ass-ly ("top" works, but not "live").<p>You can still read specific tweet or someone's profile.
As a SWE this is uplifting for many managements use Musk/Twitter as example to squeeze us.<p>This is selfish, but the worse Twitter burn, the less higher ups think of cheap out on software.
I was pleasantly surprised in the beginning of Musks reign, because a few weeks into it the World Cup came and went and Twitter didn't even flinch.<p>But since then it's been quite the shit-show from a stability point of view. I'm not a heavy user so I don't really care, but it is interesting how the initial pessimistic predictions had a sort of lag before being borne out.
Not sure if this is a legit site but according to this everything is operational.<p><a href="https://api.twitterstat.us/" rel="nofollow">https://api.twitterstat.us/</a>
