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.

we’ll see. they can search comments and object methods/functions at first. focus the initial search on well exercised code with debug flags on. it depends on how many tools are available in the development workbench and language compilation packages, unit testing, etc.
anybody familiar with the twitter setup?
If it's COBOL or FORTRAN I'm in!
Agreed, but I hope the code review is at least a bit more worthwhile than what has happened on Hyperloop or Boring so far.
Every time Twitter lets the clamps off, my follower count spikes -- today, by over 40,000 in just a few hours. That's not a coincidence.— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) October 28, 2022
Code is still shadowbanning conservatives.

It has been less then a day. It is going to take time to sort everything out.
freezing it allows an audit without changes injected
How about BASIC????
I think I screwed up the coding in my post #24. There should be an End in line 20. It’s been decades since I last did any coding!
10 Is the tweet conservative in nature? If yes, goto 20. If no, goto 30.
20 Delete the tweet and ban the poster. End.
30 Post the tweet.
Pascal?
Same here. Like riding a bike...sort of.
When Musk orders a freeze, will there be a freeze or Twitter employees with enough access privileges be able to “burn papers”?
That is a good one!!
I know Basic, and that’s it. I attempted something Basic-like in my post #24 and made a rookie mistake. A correction was attempted in my post #48.
Even Joe Biden is embarrassed for me.
Smart man
So....how long before DOJ announces a Twit investigation??
Code freezes are common. There is always an exception process. In this case it’s just done prior to a big layoff where they expect sabotage.
me too.
btw, i’m mid 60’s.
