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.

Was thinking about the potential for sabotage. Hopefully, there will be a thorough forensic search for malicious trigger dates and phrases.
Well, if code is frozen, it would still do the same things.
calling all boomer user interface engineers, i know y’all are older, but if twitter calls, maybe it’s time to go back to work.
My sources in the Musk camp gave me a glimpse of the old Twitter code.
10 Is the tweet conservative in nature? If yes, goto 20. If no, goto 30.
20 Delete the tweet and ban the poster.
30 Post the tweet.
LMAO!
that is code also ...
If I was a reviewer, I’d look at the code comments as much as the code itself.
I’m sure the are some “f*** Trump” comments.
Me too. Post of day so far.
you’re right...there was a great corporate espionage...and the big boy got seduced....much the same as what happened to General Petraeus...in fact the story lines are amazingly close.
How about Bon Dangino?
The left is going to find out that their coders are 20 years behind.
Just documenting it to see if there will be a change.
I have done some coding, for example, SQL, having a review of what must be a massive package done over days realistic?
40 goto 10
I’m a 70 year old developer. I wonder what language they use.
Reviewing the code will not reveal any smoking guns. It will be the data that the code processes that will contain the interesting details.
function verify()
{
party = check_party_affilliation();
if (party == ‘D’)
continue;
else
{
flagUser();
add2WatchList();
report2(”fbi”);
sickBots();
displayCovidWarning();
}
👍
Yes, with top sw talent.
