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.

Engineers just think differently...
The optimist sees a glass as half full...
The pessimist sees a glass as half empty...
An engineer sees a glass that is twice as big as it needs to be
BTTT!!!!
I am gaining to go out on a limb here and predict there will be more than a few tattle tails in the wings.
I never used my education classes except to teach adults. I headed the computer society for computer programming languages. Just random teaching opportunities that I enjoyed. Given the right high school, a curriculum could be an incredibly exciting project. And one worthy of writing up. I started a couple of computer language magazines. One of my favorite memories was out of the DoD-I/Ada magazine. My first issue had Bob Mathis’ Ada program on how to take care of his new baby. I loved turning work fun!
Very sturdy limb. Hope of staving off losing a paycheck is going to affect any number of followers, not the arrogant leaders, to not keep their mouths shut. Whether tale bearing would save them is another question. But good psychoanalytical thinking.
Such irony. That truly nails it!
Why, of course. Only your own code is worthy
The algorithm is, they look for words like “baseball”, “apple pie” and “Chevrolet” in posts. Then we ban them.
I work in the business and these are the code languages they most likely use..
JavaScript
Python
HTML
CSS
Java
SQL
NoSQL
C#
Has Elon wielded the ax? Two ‘data engineers’ claim they have been laid off outside HQ as ‘Chief Twit’ says no accounts will be reinstated without approval of ‘diverse’ content moderation council
Smart move on Elon's part. It will also give him a list of the best developers at Twitter. The Tesla guys will rate the quality of code produced by each developer and the hacks will get the sack.
It will also be interesting to see if he can prove fraud on the part of higher ups as to the Bot account issue. He may be able to go after them personally and claw back some of the golden parachute they received
Very worthy. I'm an honest person. Lots of scumbags in management, no matter who you work for. For instance, the managers who wanted me to implicate someone for firing, by going after their emails. I told the jerk that emails are not proof of anything, and showed him how I could spoof his emails to make him look bad - via the sniffers I had on the networks and full access to hundreds of routers. He backed down, and I saved others from harm. Happened many times, more than once. Glad to be retired, away from villains like those at Twitter that got fired.
If the code is locked down prior to an audit, they won’t be able to fix those types of things for a while.
In a way I still miss that zone you can go to for hours and hours but I can’t make myself do it anymore.
Still have my Diet Pepsi addiction though.
Someone mentioned tesla batteries and fire, and as usual, he appears to defend EV vehicles like it’s his job or something.
Guy’s an EV shrill. I’m pretty sure most around here just ignore him.
What he should do is, put a rewards system in place to material(s) implicating the top 4-5 fired execs in any malfeasance. As, they are coming after him, for millions more in severance. You know they all, have clauses in contracts, absolving firm and with zero payout, for malfeasance. If it’s out there, other people know about it; and can provide him the compass, to negate huge severance payouts.
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!!
What she said.
For the non Twitter types, this is SOP in a big take over.
I imagine he’ll get accurate info now and sue if there’s been any serious misrepresentation.
Or they kept that separate and off-site; say at a three-letter agency location.
