Key points:
1. Musk has ordered a freeze on changes to Twitter code as of noon Thursday, October 27, per Twitter employees. No code checkins are allowed.
2. On Thursday, October 27, Twitter product leaders showed Tesla software engineers (brought in by Musk) the company code. These Tesla engineers are reviewing the code in preparation for a confidential briefing for Musk early next week.
3. Twitter software engineers are locked out of the code, other than a few exceptions personally approved by Musk.

Different domains for sure.
There’s something so reassuringly logical and solid about assembly. It comforted me to visualize my data sitting safely in its little register. But you DID need to be a compulsive commentor.
“He’s trying to make sure the employees aren’t going to sabotage the system.”
I have a feeling that’s been going on behind the scenes for at least a month in anticipation of the takeover. Probably someone’s been designated to flip a dead man’s switch as he walks out the door.
Does Musk know the Tesla engineers are not biased for sure?
But you DID need to be a compulsive commentor.
Of course. Rust never sleeps, and all parenthesis/braces must be balanced. Woe to the non-compliant.
Well all Musk has to do is ban cooking curry smelling food in the dining halls and small kitchens and there goes 75% of the workforce.
Musk won’t be SHOCKED at what his engineers find I think he KNOWS that our intel agencies have their fingers deeply embedded in Twitter I hope he understands what he is going to be up against!! I hope he shares EVERYTHING with the public!!
Reminds me of the past when big businesses were preparing for layoffs and a number of new “employees” would come to work a few days before D-Day. While most of the workers were in the auditorium being told they were fired, the new “employees” were removing anything that could be used as a weapon and changing the locks to prevent sabotage of the plant.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!! My first masters was education and I was teaching computing to 5th graders. I taught them registers and data with candy, but the computers kept making errors because the data kept disappearing into small mouths. Later I wrote a thesis on developing a computer language for children without variables based on Backus’ Reduction Languages. It had the quality that it worked until the kids got to that 5th/6th grade level, then you needed a PhD to understand the language. Total failure.
Bravo!
Like anyone will care or do anything about it.
Yes
Kushner was one of his own and I believe the chief backstabber!
>>behind the scenes for at least a month in anticipation of the takeover
With code frozen, wouldn’t you search code from latest to earliest to see what was changed most recently? And, importantly, WHO changed what. Gives you the priority firing list.
Elon just tweeted he is forming a content moderation council with “widely diverse members”, and “no major reinstatement’s or content decisions will be made until that council meets”.
Perfect. I’ve heard (but don’t know) that those who code have certain unique “signatures”, even if they’ve skirted the process of logging in correctly. Even if hacked in, their methods often can identify them.
And those mouthy Twitter employee kids spouting off about the situation. No matter what their actual words are, all Musk hears is, “I’m a malcontent trouble maker. Fire me!!”
Yep, might find that stored away in some Github accounts there...lolz
I am stealing that for my fellow techie friends.
>>content moderation council
Once you’ve got a diverse committee membership, then all you have to do is require unanimous agreement for censoring content. Assume that everyone would agree on beheading video links or pedophilia links, but not on political ones.
I taught Embedded Computing in high school for two years. First I presented digital logic, the binary number system, and then processor architecture. The willing then learned assembler on the AVR (Arduino) processor.
That is pretty far outside of the box for high school students. Half of them were very enthusiastic while the other half were just plain shell-shocked.
I keep thinking that I want to develop curriculum for high schools.
