Before Musk jumped in there was a decent design culture with a lot of talent.
Musk fired most of the design squad and killed the culture.

Elon Musk needs to change the algorithm There is an Indian Cyber Defender on Twitter who encourages all Indians to attack Twitter profiles that they think might be offensive to Indians. They basically collectively report on the account. The samething they do here on Blind to report an account and ...Read more
How Twitters engineers feel about this idea? Personally, seems quite dumb for me and shows that Musk have no idea how things work. Or maybe he has and is just playing for the public. You can open source the Machine Learning code, but that will help nothing without the user data, the internal contex...Read more
Please let me know because my non-dev friends (some are devs from trash companies) are telling me we can finally figure out why *insert opposite side* is being upranked and our side is unfairly being downranked. Looking forward to forking it and submitting pull requests that improve the Twitter alg...Read more
Anyone who works on the open source twitter algorithm is a major bootlicker. Elon fires the staff and then some some OSS developers will end up doing the work for free. 🤦♂️ I know the algorithm is broken, and it's our nature to want to fix things, but please make them pay people to do it.
I have love/hate opinion on Musk. Sometimes he is a jerk. Ignoring my opinion, what Twitter did is much appreciable. Open sourcing code base will allow neutral third party acid test. This put so much burden on Google, Meta, etc. Blind has a tunnel vision on Musk. He is doing what other Tech CEOs u...Read more
After many users reported the issue, here's how Twitter decided to troubleshoot it. This is what happened when you fire most engineers and nobody knows how the algorithm actually works. #twitter
Twitter Engineers forgot to remove this before making the source code public! As promised by owner Elon Musk, Twitter has made the source code for its recommendation algorithm available. A very interesting discovery has already been made by the open source community. Twitter is specifically tracki...Read more

On Tuesday, Musk gathered a group of engineers and advisors into a room at Twitter’s headquarters looking for answers. Why are his engagement numbers tanking? “This is ridiculous,” he said, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the meeting. “I have more than 100 million followers, ...Read more

I do not follow Elon musk on twitter but when I open the app on the Home Screen his tweets are always showing up first as suggested tweets. Did the algorithm change to make his tweets more visible or is it just that there’s more engagement? Spill the ☕️ #twitter
