It's not a self ddos if twitter isn't going down. You can see in the video twitter is properly handling the load and is returning HTTP 429 when the client is sending too many requests. Hitting the rate limiter or requesting a post is light weight. It's not like it's spamming login requests which require a lot of resources due to key stretching.
> It's not a self ddos Maybe not > if twitter isn't going down I disagree. Ddos is a type of attack, not the result of an attack. If they're hitting their services way too many times in a distributed fashion, it's a ddos regardless of how it was handled. Similarly, would you say this[0] wasn't a ddos because it was mitigated?

They do this because SWE prima donnas will not do an adequate job for some things no matter how much you pay them. Like, oh, say, cleaning the office microwave.
So I guarantee you that you are overlooking most of the actual work "at" any given large tech corp.

Can we please recognize that this is a holiday weekend and Elon rammed a big release forcing his engineers to come in and iterate multiple patches over the last 12 hours.
Twitter Engineers have had over a year to get out and find another job. At this point the terms of their employment and the expectations from their boss are all crystal clear. Hard to sympathize with those who continue to stick around for whatever reason.

That's a non-sequitir. You can be at the top of your field and not completely understand a complex system. Also, the right people may not have even been involved in the implementation of this "feature".
