This isn't that surprising, he literally fired all the guys that maintained the legacy coding. I make fun of programmers alot, but those bastards are really important for maintaining older systems. The learning curve on existing systems for incoming programmers, no matter how smart, is usually incredibly high, and if you are running a skeleton crew besides, there is no way that anybody had time to look at the skeleton.
At that point it's worthwhile getting on your hands and knees and begging them to come back with a big bag of money.
Yeah but why would
care? The player base isn't growing in any appreciable way, you're just pouring in money to slow down the decline. There is no profit motive, so Capital will not do it. Cause they don't just want money, they want all of the money. (Thank God for JS Sterling)The fact the playerbase isn't growing in any appreciable way is the reason they should be begging the people responsible for the old growth to come back.
Took longer than expected for the site to start fundamentally tearing itself apart at the seams but it appears to have reached that point.
Capitalist meritocracy! Truly the most efficient of systems, delivering optimal resultsTwitter used LE EPIC MUSK move...
It hurt itself in its confusion!

There was honestly a period of time where I thought
was onto something about actually needing a tiny fraction of bazingas to keep the website going. Recent events have not necessarily proven that wrong, just that firing 80% of people loses the ones who know what they're doing firstIt's probably doable if it's a competent person at the steering wheel. Too bad that Musk's only criteria for who gets fired is whether they're willing to put up with his narcissism.
Might be doable if you had that, if the whole thing was built well from the ground up, you had documentation to make sense of everything, and you were simply maintaining what already existed rather than pushing a bunch of new "features." But at that point we're talking about a fundamentally different company.

This is the most cursed and pathetic thing I've seen this week. I'm sure it won't last long in first place.
