I look forward to someone teaching Elon Musk what version control is, resulting in him wholesale rolling back Twitter's entire stack to 2008. At last, Twitter is written in Ruby again!

Do you remember, I think it was 2020, when there was a big "hack" and tons of blue check accounts started posting fraud links?

Two important take-aways from that:

1) The attackers just pulled the old "Hey, I'm from IT service desk and need your password."

2) Apparently every engineer had god mode in production

I can't imagine what scary monsters are in that codebase.
