One thing I wondered about the whole story about Tesla engineers reviewing code was… how many of them and how much time would it take for them to understand organizationally who is needed / knows what to do for a site like Twitter?

Is “I think this codes is not optimally written.” Even useful after a week?

I once was a part of an acquisition where they quickly fired a lot of redundant people.

Including the entire mailroom, dock workers, facilities staff.

After a week they randomly called the tech support number and a group of us who had never been to the dock struggled to open the door for a weeks worth of deliveries.

Trivial in a small, no-nonsense company, probably absolutely non-trivial in a place like Twitter, where I expect they have a custom, byzantine devops/config management solution in place.
