twitter, seems to have a cowboy engineering culture. that's why one of their exec's blamed rails for their failure to combat harassment[0]. n I bet now, if they still ran rails, it would've been blamed lol.

"...a rudimentary web-application framework that made it nearly impossible to find a technical solution to the harassment problem"

To me, this is analogous to the perhaps undeserved "the internet is a series of tubes" lampooning, but I'm still chuckling how they managed to word that so poorly.

It sounds like a perfect answer to those claiming "harassement" is a technology problem.

Emails are overrated as an anti-troll measure. Anyone can make a trash mail in seconds.
