This is all very much correct, especially about highly competent devs being turned into researchers that require learning the code base archeology for weeks before every sprint before even the slightest ode can be touched. But this isn’t limited to Twitter. This is like half of all the code based I’ve ever worked with
I hope for the good of humanity that a difference here is that Twitter has some utility, whereas the comparable code bases at large tech firms are mostly useless features/products (i.e. bullshit work).
