All jokes aside I believe Meta said they have no former Twitter employees on their engineering team.

I think someone smart foresaw Elon being a child. They deserve a nice bonus.

I'm curious what is a trade secret here.

Very basic functionality of twitter? Saving a message to a database?

Most of it is infrastructure.

Unless fucking up a blue check mark multiple times counts?

it used to called "re-tweet", but now it's "re-thread"

It should be "weave" but apparently no one at meta knows what threads are used to do, so whatever....

Foreseeing Elon being a child is like staring at the Sun and noticing it's bright.

I'm surprised Meta is the only* company with a competing product. *(Ignoring Bluesky since that's been in development for a while and Mastodon isn't a company.)
